“The aspect of Valpo that has been most impactful on who I am today is the sense of community within the classroom and amongst my peers. Many people talk about how the community at Valpo is so important, and as I have progressed through college, I hold this even more true. I have had so many opportunities brought to me through our community and have felt supported every step of the way. It has given me the confidence to go out in the world and share my talents and experiences with others to add positively to our society.”

“I will never be able to find the words that accurately depict my love and thankfulness for Valpo’s elementary education. The support of our professors and staff throughout our fieldwork and student-teaching experiences is unmatched. They always reassured me, and I graduated without a doubt that I truly did find my calling in the right spot — the classroom!”

“Valpo allowed me to pursue my passions for both civil engineering and music at a very high level — and that combination has shaped who I am. I chose Valpo because it felt approachable and supportive of both paths. Along the way, so many people have been part of my journey: teachers, mentors, my family, even my fraternity brothers. Every lesson, every bit of encouragement, every little piece of wisdom has been another stepping stone for me. College is about discovering yourself, and Valpo has given me the space to do just that — to take chances, follow my passions, and grow into the person I want to be.”
