Valparaiso University, your home away from home!

If you haven't come to campus yet, I highly recommend that you come check out one of our excellent visit days. We have one this Friday, Oct 30 and on Saturday November 14th. It's not too late to register for our November 14th date. At these visits you're able to meet professors, your admission counselor (me), students and other wonderful people who will make your time at Valpo enriching and memorable.

I've had a great time meeting alot of students on the road this fall at fairs and high school visits. Remember, if you have any questions, just drop me an email, call the office or message me on facebook. When I'm not on the road, I've been busy reviewing your applications. If you haven't sent in yours yet, it's not too late. November 1st is our early action non-binding deadline and January 15 is our scholarship priority deadline. If you miss those deadlines, we do operate on rolling admission, but I strongly encourage you to apply earlier rather than later as it helps with scholarships. In order for your application to be complete, I will need your test scores, transcript, counselor evaluation form and your essay. If you have any questions about your essay, feel free to drop me a line. Remember, it's a way for me to get to know you a little better, so brag about something cool and why you're a rockstar or why you love Valpo and want to attend.

In other related news, Owl City just announced that they will be performing on campus in the spring-- you know, the guys who sing Fireflies.


Should be an excellent time. The basketball season is about to get underway and students have been very busy with different activities.

Time to get back to file review. I look forward to meeting more of you and helping you through your admission process!

Remember, be legendary in your own way!
