Voices of Valpo

Lane Sheel

Admission

“I really loved the smaller, more personal feel of the campus and the university, and the one-on-one interactions with the faculty. … I could tell that [Valpo] was going to be a place that cared about me as a person and that cared about my journey, not only during my four years here, but where I ended up after.”

— Lane Scheel ’25

Admission

“What makes Valpo great is the commitment of the faculty and their desire to make you better both in the classroom and in the professional world. Valpo has an unbelievably advanced and sophisticated network of professors who teach the skills that are desired in today’s workforce. The small class sizes allowed for great conversations to occur during class and also allowed for direct access to professors.”

— Ed Orlando ’16, Data Scientist
