More Than A College | Valparaiso University

At Valpo, our light is for everybody. We are more than a university: Our first-generation students call our campus home, working professionals come to us to take the next steps in their career, and students and faculty collaborate on ground-breaking research that has the potential to change entire fields.

We thank YOU for making a lasting impact on Valpo’s students, faculty, and future – and for making this life-changing experience accessible to all.
