Yet, through years of evolution and name changes, the college which was to become Valparaiso University (VU) has indeed become exactly that. Today, VU, in concert with other Valparaiso institutions of higher learning such as Purdue University North Central (PNC) and Ivy Tech Community College, is changing Valparaiso in profound ways. Research shows that the quality of education in a community is one of the key decision-making factors when a company chooses where to locate its business. But according to local edu- cators and city administrators, the value of having colleges and universities in a community is more far-reaching. These institu- tions contribute millions of dollars to the local economy. They are directly involved in economic development, and provide learning opportunities for local citizens which might not other- wise be available. They also attract high caliber employees who Photo: Aran Kessler Photo Imaging often become involved in the community, providing countless hours of volunteerism and counsel to local charities. In Valparaiso, a significant number of graduates stay in the commu- nity after college (see sidebar story page 10, Born There, Staying “Truth is discovered in many ways.

Perhaps most importantly, the presence of these Universities encourage [people] to institutions enhances the local culture in many ways. “The total value of having colleges and universities in a com- think more broadly and outside munity is not even quantifiable,” says Bill Hanna, City Administrator. “Of course, there is an immediate economic their own perspectives.

But when it comes to financial impact, there is little reason for debate. – Dr. Alan Harre, President A study by an agricultural economist at Purdue University placed the direct economic impact of VU at some $100 million Valparaiso University per year. According to VU President Dr. Alan Harre, that total is only part of the total picture. 4 Valpo Magazine Fall 2007 Enhancing our Community Financially, Intellectually, and Culturally by Michael J.
