“I wouldn’t trade the four years [at Valpo] for anything because I feel like [I had] such a great education, and developed relationships with professors ... Being in multiple programs like sports management, Christ College, and accounting allowed me to meet a ton of different people, faculty, and staff ... I’m thankful to have gotten the experience.”
