Located one hour southeast of Chicago, Valpo’s Colleges of Arts & Sciences, Business Administration, Engineering, Nursing, and Christ College – The Honors College are committed to the values of the university’s Lutheran foundation, to the connection between faith and life, and to the broadening experiences of the liberal arts. Valpo’s nearly 4,000 students represent most states and more than 50 countries. Nestled in a safe, northwest Indiana community of 31,000, the university offers extensive leadership, undergraduate research, service, and internship opportunities, as well as 13 study-abroad programs and more than 100 extracurricular activities, including a campus radio station, a PreMedical Society, and various recreational and NCAA Division I intercollegiate sports. Sixty-six percent of students live on campus. Approximately 35 percent of Valpo students are members of the university’s nine national fraternities and six national sororities. State-of-the-art facilities include a Virtual Nursing Learning Center with computerized “patients” and a one-of-a-kind VisBox-X2 Scientific Visualization Laboratory that allows Valpo engineers and scientists to learn concepts using three-dimensional virtual reality. Other examples of advanced technology are found in the theater, non-linear video-editing laboratory, 16” computer-controlled reflecting telescope, the awardwinning Christopher Center for Library and Information Resources, and Weather Center with Doppler radar. A new 202,000 sq. ft. union with wireless access that will be the social and recreational hub of campus is scheduled to open in January 2009.

Located in Crawfordsville and founded in 1832, Wabash is a liberal arts college dedicated to academic excellence and the development of leadership skills. One of only three colleges for men in the United States, Wabash educates men to think critically, act responsibly, lead effectively, and live humanely. Wabash’s liberal arts curriculum enables men to major in any one of 23 fields, and it produces well-rounded leaders who can adapt in a rapidly changing world. Students at Wabash follow only one rule, the Gentleman’s Rule, which requires them to behave as gentlemen and responsible citizens at all times. A strong fraternity system, governed by students, provides ample social and leadership opportunities. Outside the classroom, Wabash students have a wide range of activities to explore, including workshops, seminars, visiting artists and lecturers, film, music, theater, forensics, and intramural sports. Athletes compete in 11 intercollegiate sports in NCAA Division III and the North Coast Athletic Conference. Testament to Wabash’s extraordinary balance between academics and athletics is the large number of student-athletes named NCAA Postgraduate Scholars and to Academic All-America teams. There are strong academic pressures at Wabash, and men who rise to the challenge find a Wabash education rewarding. 26 http://www.valpo.edu http://www.wabash.edu http://www.valpo.edu http://www.wabash.edu http://www.valpo.edu
