Wha, wha, what did you say??

How’s life? Crazy, busy, hectic – don’t know what you want to do with the rest of your life? Perhaps some of you have decided on the school that’s the right fit for you, some of you are still trying to decide between the top two, and some of you have no clue and are waiting for that epiphany to hit you. Well, just keep in mind that high school seniors across the country are going through the same thing you are right now! Also remember that many have gone before you and many will come after you!

A few campus happenings--

  • Valparaiso recently won a National Service Award for students efforts in community service.
  • Jason Derulo will be performing on campus at the end of the month-- tickets go on sale soon! Be on the look out. I know that I will definitely be at this show!




  • President Heckler and a student exchange lives for the day in "Be President for the Day" program.
  • Students returned from their 2 week spring breaks refreshed and ready to complete the rest of this semester.
  • Campus is getting jazzed up for Jazz fest that takes place in April.

A few things to remember -

  • If you have already, I am so glad that you've deposited - let me know if there is anything I can help out with! Don't forget that the Health form is due July 1st.

  • Watch for information at the end of the month about FOCUS, Valpo’s fun-filled and informative orientation program. FOCUS is where you sign up for classes, meet with your advisor, meet other incoming freshmen, and truly get to know Valpo for the first time!

  • If you have not yet submitted your deposit, please let me know what I can do to help make your college decision process easier. I'm always here to answer your questions.

  • Remember, it's not too late to schedule on overnight visit. This is a great opportunity for you to truly see what it's like to be a Valpo student.

Well, there’s your Valpo Update! Hope all is well. As always, let me know if you have questions or if I can be of help!

Remember, be legendary in your own way!
