Southern Virginia University President Bonnie Cordon to Step Down

Bonnie Cordon has announced she will step down from her role as president of Southern Virginia University at the end of the current academic year.

In 2023, President Cordon became the tenth president of Southern Virginia University. Before her current role, she spent seven years as a general officer of The Church of Jesus Christ Latter-day Saints, including the final five years as president of the worldwide Young Women organization. During that time, she was also member of the board of trustees for Brigham Young University in Utah, BYU-Idaho, BYU-Hawaii, and Ensign College in Salt Lake City, Utah.

“President Cordon has led Southern Virginia University with care, integrity, and a genuine commitment to our students and mission,” said the university’s board chair Wendy Kimber. “We are sincerely grateful for her leadership, and encourage the entire SVU community—past and present — to join us in expressing appreciation for the positive and lasting impact she has made.”

Cordon received a bachelor’s degree in education from Brigham Young University.
