SUMMER GATHERINGS

Lots of Guild groups are planning summer get-togethers to welcome new and current students and their families.  Take a look at the Guild events calendar to see what may be taking place near you.  You don't see anything happening in your area? Then you are welcome to plan a gathering.  Just contact the Guild office with details (use the Member Originated Activity form) and the office will provide lists, publicity and funding.

Guild members are invited to visit the Writing Center's blog to get an insight into the Valpo's student's writing process.

GRADUATE SCHOOL

In recognition of that growth and the central role that graduate programs will play in the future development of Valpo's academic programming, the Graduate Division has been renamed the Valparaiso University Graduate School.

An expanded range of graduate programs – particularly areas of study that appeal to international students, meet critical needs of the 21st century and serve students seeking professional and career advancement – has propelled Valparaiso University's graduate student enrollment to its highest level since the establishment of a graduate division in 1964.

Dr. David Rowland, dean of the Graduate School and Continuing Education, said the name change is a reflection of the importance of Valpo's graduate programs.
