- Strategic Priorities
-
Preparing our young people for the challenges they will face in the future must be our first priority.
Global
changes continue to impact our society and our local community. To
fulfill our mission and our responsibility to our students, Valparaiso
University must provide a cutting-edge learning environment that is
equipped with the latest in technology, programs, and facilities to
connect our campus to the world. Today’s graduates require a
well-rounded education with a skill set for the 21st
Century – critical thinking, a focus on innovation, flexibility,
curiosity, and the ability to participate as effective and articulate
leaders of interdisciplinary teams – all grounded in an ethical,
values-based view of themselves and the world. Gifts to Valparaiso
University that may be directed to areas of greatest need provide
critically needed resources to enhance the campus environment and
respond to innovative opportunities.
- Earnings
from the endowment support the University’s annual operating expenses.
Unrestricted gifts provide additional funding for essential student,
faculty, and program support across campus.
- Unrestricted
funds supply urgently needed financial aid for students who need an
extra measure of support to complete their degree.
- Augment essential library collections that support the curriculum.
- Emergency financial aid funds to assist students who are faced with family financial crises.
- Funding for critically needed upgrades to facilities and technology that directly impact the student learning environment.
Gifts to the Valpo Fund provide
the financial flexibility needed to respond quickly to challenges and
opportunities that the University encounters each year. Responsible
fiscal management of vitally needed gifts of unrestricted funds make it
possible for us to address both immediate and long term funding needs and
ensure that students have access to every possible opportunity.
Make this year a great Valpo experience for every student. Please give to the Valpo Fund.
