Recall the first time you toured Valparaiso University’s campus and recognized that this time in your life would be important and memorable. Valpo may be where you met a lifelong friend, or even your life partner. A particular professor may have instilled in you key concepts — professional or philosophical — that you carry to this day. Perhaps in the Chapel of the Resurrection you found a haven during tough times, or a home for reflection. Upon graduating it all became a part of your “Valpo experience.”

Through gift planning, you have an opportunity to ensure this same experience for young people today and in the future. You may choose to name VU in your will, or as a recipient of a life insurance policy; establish a gift annuity or charitable remainder trust. However you include Valpo in your estate, your gift says that the Valpo experience made a difference in your life, and that you know it can do the same for other students.

Thank you for considering a life planning gift to Valparaiso University.
