ABOUT VA LPARAISO UNIVERSITY

This guiding motto reflects the core values of Valparaiso University: scholarship, freedom, faith, and service. Rooted in the University’s Lutheran tradition, these ideals shape the mission and character of Valpo today.

Valparaiso University’s origins trace back to 1859, when it was founded by Methodists as the Valparaiso Male and Female College — an early pioneer in co-education. For nearly 30 years, it operated as the Northern Indiana Normal School under the leadership of visionary educator Henry Baker Brown, before officially becoming Valparaiso University. Following decades of growth, the University faced significant

financial challenges during World War I. In 1925, the Lutheran University Association — comprised of clergy and laity — acquired the institution, marking the beginning of Valpo’s modern era as an independent Lutheran University.

Today, Valparaiso University spans nearly 300 acres and continues to foster a lifelong commitment in its students to seek truth, pursue knowledge, and grow in wisdom. An engaged and accomplished community of faculty and staff empowers graduates to ignite their passions and live out their purpose in a world that needs their light.

VALPARAISO UNIVERSITY ALMA MATER

2. Hail to the Brown and Gold!

Recall the days of old, The happy days which we Ne’er shall forget. As shadows longer grow, Brighter the flame shall glow, The flame of love for you — Dear old Valpo.

Text: Helen Dvorak, Oscar C. Kreinheder, and Harold Rogers Music: J.F. Petri, How Can I Leave Thee
In Luce Tua Videmus Lucem — “ In Thy Light We See Light ”

ACADEMIC ATTIRE

On formal University occasions, faculty wear academic regalia with roots in the Middle Ages, when long gowns and hoods served both practical and symbolic purposes. As European universities developed, distinct styles of gowns and hoods came to represent academic rank and institutional affiliation.

In the United States, academic dress has been in use since colonial times. A standardized system, established in the late 19th century, remains in place today across most institutions.

The most distinctive feature of academic regalia is the hood, which reflects both the wearer’s degree and the institution that awarded it. Valparaiso University hoods are lined in brown and gold and trimmed with a color representing the field of study.

Here is a partial list of colors associated with the various disciplines:

Arts, Letters, Humanities White

Business Administration

Economics

Education

Engineering

Exercise Science

Fine

Philosophy

Physician

Science Gold

Social Work .............................................

Theology

The academic cap, a later addition to academic dress, was originally a symbol of the master’s degree. Styles varied, but the square mortarboard — originating from Oxford — is now most common. The tassel, evolved from an earlier tuft, is typically black or a color representing the academic field; gold tassels are reserved for doctoral degree holders and institutional leaders.

Some Valparaiso University faculty wear regalia reflecting international or non-standard academic traditions. Cords worn over the left shoulder indicate honor society membership, while red, white, and blue cords honor U.S. military service.

SYMBOLS

Two prominent symbols in academic ceremonies are the mace and the presidential medallion. The mace, representing the University’s authority, is carried by the president’s marshal during the academic procession. It features four key emblems: the University seal, the chi rho (a symbol of Christ), the Luther rose (reflecting the University’s Lutheran heritage), and the seal of the State of Indiana, along with smaller symbols representing academic disciplines and Christian virtues.

The presidential medallion, worn at official ceremonies, bears the University seal on one side and the inscription “Official President ’s Medal” on the other. The president also wears a custom robe with four gold-trimmed velvet chevrons and panels, each embroidered with the University seal. The hood is brown velvet lined with white and gold satin, reflecting Valpo’s colors.

Reverend Brian E. Konkol, Ph.D.

Reverend Brian E. Konkol, Ph.D., became the 20th President of Valparaiso University on January 1, 2026. An ordained Lutheran minister and experienced higher education leader, he is focused on strengthening the University’s mission to prepare students for leadership and service in church and society.

Since arriving, Rev. Konkol has emphasized collaboration across the campus community. Working with students, faculty, staff, alumni, and partners, he has helped develop a “Strategic Mission Compass” to guide the University’s priorities and future direction. His leadership centers on the message that Valparaiso University “builds lives for good.”

Rev. Konkol brings an international background in ministry, education, and public engagement. Originally from Amherst Junction, Wisconsin, he began his ordained ministry in Guyana with the Evangelical Lutheran Church, where he served congregations, lectured at the Lutheran Lay Academy, and co-hosted the nationally televised program Word for the World. His work there also included community initiatives focused on interfaith cooperation, youth development, and much more.

Eric W. Johnson ’87, Ph.D.

Rev. Konkol later served in South Africa with the ELCA’s Young Adults in Global Mission program, while assisting in parish ministry and lecturing at the Lutheran Theological Institute. His work included participation with international faith organizations at United Nations climate discussions.

Before coming to Valpo, Rev. Konkol held leadership roles in both congregational and higher education settings, including serving as vice president and dean of Hendricks Chapel at Syracuse University. There, he helped expand student engagement, programming, and fundraising while promoting nationally recognized models of interfaith and ethical engagement in higher education.

Rev. Konkol holds degrees from Viterbo University, Luther Seminary, and the University of KwaZulu-Natal in South Africa. He and his wife, Kristen Konkol, Ph.D., have two children.

PROVOST AND EXECUTIVE VICE PRESIDENT FOR ACADEMIC AFFAIRS

Eric W. Johnson ’87, Ph.D., serves as provost and executive vice president for academic affairs at Valparaiso University, where he is the University’s chief academic officer. He also oversees the Departments of Chapel and Church Vocations and Student Life, and the Christopher Center Library. During his tenure, he has focused on strengthening high-quality, in-demand academic programs and enhancing the student experience both inside and outside the classroom.

Provost Johnson joined Valpo’s Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering in 1997. He has held the Paul and Cleo

Brandt Professorship, chaired the department, and helped establish the Valparaiso University International Engineering Programs. His scholarly work centers on nanodevice-based electronic component modeling and engineering education.

In 2013, he was appointed dean of the College of Engineering, where he led the launch of programs in bioengineering and environmental engineering, promoted holistic learning, and encouraged an entrepreneurial mindset among students.

He finished his career as the program’s all-time leader in points, three-point field goals, and assists, and earned an ESPY Award for his iconic moment.

A first-round NBA Draft pick, Bryce played professionally for the Houston Rockets, Chicago Bulls, and Charlotte/New Orleans Hornets. He later returned to Valpo as head coach, where he compiled a 124–49 record, won multiple conference

titles, and led the program to NCAA Tournament appearances while earning three Horizon League Coach of the Year honors.

Bryce went on to serve as head coach at Vanderbilt University and now leads Grand Canyon University men’s basketball, where he has guided the program to multiple conference championships and NCAA Tournament appearances, including the program’s first NCAA Division I Tournament win.
