Thank goodness it is starting to warm up here! It is still rather deceivingly chilly, but with the sun shining and the flowers starting to bloom Valpo is beginning to look SO beautiful again now that it's spring! It is hard to believe that it is already the end of March. The students only have one more full month and half of May left. The Seniors are either really excited and looking forward to graduation or sad about leaving Valpo and all the friendships they have made here.
Lots of changes and fun things are happening around campus. We just found out that Jason Derulo will be coming to Valpo on April 30th! Also, there is a fundraiser going on called "President for a Day" where students can buy tickets and hope theirs gets drawn, because if it does, they switch places with President Heckler. So, the student becomes President of the university for a day, and President Heckler has to attend all of that student's classes and such. I know that if I was a student, I would be buy quite a few tickets!
Another amazing thing is that Valparaiso University students and faculty have been recognized for their outstanding achievements in community service and efforts to improve lives and solve social problems locally, across the nation and around the world. Valpo recently was named to the President's Higher Education Community Service Honor Roll, the highest federal recognition a college or university can receive for its commitment to volunteering, service-learning and civic engagement, for the third time in four years.
Once again, feel free to contact me!
