Leadership & Administration
Students are at the center of what happens in the College of Business, including the work of the College’s senior leadership and administrators. Our leaders draw on their expertise from careers in business and academia, and involve the faculty, staff, and students in decisions to optimize the educational experience at Valpo.
The College of Business supports its students with resources in administration, advising, practical experience, and assessment to help them make the most of their time at Valparaiso University.
