“What I’ve learned so far has been to go for things even if I’m not sure what I’m doing, and having the faith that I will know what I’m doing by the end.” Sara Tewoldemedhin ’26

College football is a major part of the Valparaiso University experience for athletes, students, faculty, staff, and the surrounding community. Since the University first fielded a team in 1919, fans have flocked to campus to celebrate the Brown and Gold, sharing in the excitement that only sports can bring. Both the game and the Valparaiso University team have seen immense change in the 105 years since that first kickoff, but the way football brings us together has always remained the same.

A major celestial event can be an excellent opportunity for learning. In April of 2024, a near-total solar eclipse was visible in Northwest Indiana, and Valparaiso University was ready to take full advantage of the opportunities that came with it. The astronomy department helped people get a better view of the event, while meteorology students used a Portable Atmospheric Research Center — a high-tech RV — from the University of Wisconsin-Madison to research the unique atmospheric conditions that come with an eclipse.
