Embracing the Journey
The freedom to pursue truth wherever it leads is at the heart of Valpo’s sense of community, uniting its academic and spiritual missions.
The university aims to foster in its students a lifelong commitment to this search for truth, encouraging the development of a sense of personal vocation as well as the intellectual and professional skills needed to pursue it.
An active, inclusive community and an accomplished faculty prepare Valpo graduates to choose and navigate their own paths through life.
