Get Involved

Transcript

let’s shift the conversation over to sophomore Emily, who’s majoring in Political Science with a minor in Professional Writing. In addition to her studies, Emily is very involved with campus life. She’s busy with more clubs and activities than I can count on one hand. The connections she’s making are cheering her on now, and they’ll definitely be helping her reach her career goals after graduation. Emily, tell us more.

– Hey guys. Like many others for the majority of my life, I knew I wanted to make a difference, but I didn’t know how. it wasn’t until I came to Valpo and started getting involved that I saw how much you could do for others and how many opportunities you have to do so. Getting involved and trying new things is a big priority at Valparaiso University. This can be seen in the more than 100 student clubs and organizations offered here. With this and the countless leadership roles bestowed on students, the university is training the leaders of tomorrow. No matter what you wanna try, there is always an opportunity at Valpo. I am the vice president of Alpha Gamma Delta, a student Senator, a member of the Dance Marathon Executive Board and the Campus Tour Guide. And the great thing is with most clubs and organizations being student led, they understand the importance of flexible scheduling. In the future, I plan to attend law school in Texas. I want to continue my involvement and service to others through becoming an attorney. Some of the connections I have made through clubs and activities here at Valpo, will be ones I use in my daily career as an attorney. Here, I can see Valpo’s dedication to students and giving us the most meaningful opportunities possible. No matter what you enjoy, at Valpo, there’s something for everyone. Well, that’s all for me, sending it back to you, Alex.

– How awesome, Emily. With so many new experiences and activities available to you, it’s great to see you’re jumping in and growing so much in the process. This is truly a campus where leadership is put in the student’s hands. Great job.
