Hi Everyone,
I worked with Rev. Konkol and the Alumni Engagement staff to set up this event, mentioning to them how Forum members are deeply interested in VU's past, present, and future.
Note that the online registration form contains space to ask questions and share points with Rev. Konkol.
I hope we have a great turnout for the event!!! Please note the email address for the Alumni Engagement office if you have any questions!

Very interesting that the President would engage with a Fan Forum. Very rare site indeed, but not an unwelcome one. Maybe I can try my luck at finding a shiny Pokemon!
I just registered. This dude is outstanding for engaging with us and all the Valparaiso stakeholders.
I just registered as well. I have met several of the people on here over the years, but this meeting will further reduce any anonymity.
Hey everyone, it's not too late to sign up for Tuesday's Zoom program with Reverend Konkol, info above!
VU's new President will be sharing his initial observations of intercollegiate sports at Valpo, as well as the state of the University in general! I hope you'll sign up for conversation organized specially for Valpo Fan Zone Forum members!
I registered yesterday. I am really looking forward to the program.
Hi Everyone,
In case you missed it, click here for the recording of the webinar that Rev. Konkol gave for members of the Valpo Fan Zone Forum. It includes:
- An overall progress report about the University, including slides;
- Rev. Konkol’s philosophy about the valuable role of college athletics generally and at Valpo specifically; and,
- Responses to questions sent in and posted.
It runs about an hour, and includes contact info for anyone who would like to send feedback and suggestions.
Best,
David
