    Valparaiso University - IN - Assurance Argument - 10/6/2017 Assurance Argument Valparaiso University - IN 10/6/2017 Page 1 Valparaiso University - IN - Assurance Argument - 10/6/2017 1 - Mission The institution’s mission is clear and articulated publicly; it guides the institution’s operations. 1.A - Core Component 1.A The institution’s mission is broadly understood within the institution and guides its operations. 1. The mission statement is developed through a process suited to the nature and culture of the institution and is adopted by the governing board. 2. The institution’s academic programs, student support services, and enrollment profile are consistent with its stated mission. 3. The institution’s planning and budgeting priorities align with and support the mission. (This sub-component may be addressed by reference to the response to Criterion 5.C.1.) Argument 1.A.1. The nature and culture of Valparaiso University (Valpo) is not unlike that of a closely-knit family. Founded in 1859 as the Valparaiso Male and Female College, but purchased and re-envisioned as Valparaiso University by a group of Lutheran laymen in 1925, Valpo had for decades a faculty, staff, and student body drawn largely from the Lutheran midwest. More recently the university community has become far more diverse, but the spirit of family remains, meaning that transparent, widely-shared participation in university governance is assumed. That shared participation includes development of the mission and the Strategic Plan that supports it. The mission statement of Valparaiso University was adopted in 2004 by the Board of Directors under former president, Alan Harre: "Valparaiso University, a community of learning dedicated to excellence and grounded in the Lutheran tradition of scholarship, freedom, and faith, prepares students to lead and serve in both church and society." The arrival of a new university president, Mark Heckler, in July 2008 provided the opportunity for campus-wide review of the Strategic Plan that undergirds that mission statement.

The performance in Act one is the dress rehearsal; act two shows behind-the-scenes during production; and by act three, chaos erupts from the disintegrated relation­ ships. Director R.

Thanks to a generous $1 million donation, the largest single dona­ tion ever received by the VU ath­ letics department, the multi-mil­ lion dollar initiative to upgrade the athletic facilities on campus could begin to take shape before the end of the 2007-2008 academic school year. "The most significant thing that has happened recently is the mil­ lion dollar gift we received," Mark LaBarbera, VU's athletic director, said.
