Events

Each year, the Valparaiso University Office of Church Relations is pleased to offer educational opportunities to a variety of different groups. Some of these opportunities are referred to as symposiums, conferences, or workshops, and extend from a couple of hours to a couple of days. While some of these conferences are open to the general public, others are for specific audiences.
