Chef Chris welcomes visitors to Valpo University this Saturday. “We’ll show them why Valpo is a special place”

Chef Chris and Radius are huge fans of Valparaiso University, and now they get a chance to help welcome a new generation of crusaders to Valpo University and the City of Valparaiso.

This Saturday, Chris Pavlou and the Valpo Restaurants are teaming with Valparaiso University to introduce students and their families to Valpo University. As President of the Valpo Restaurant Association, Pavlou couldn’t be more honored when the University wanted to collaborate.

Strong City…Strong University. Strong University…Strong City. -Chris Pavlou

Chef Pavlou and his family are huge supporters of both Valpo University. According to Pavlou, “going to VU basketball games is a great experience. Going to the games allowed us to become familiar with the specialness of VU and its beautiful culture. We think we can help visitors and potential students discover what a special community we have in Valparaiso. The University helps make Valpo a great city, and conversely, the city helps make the University a special place to attend. Working together with the VU Staff is a great idea”.

Pavlou will make a point of welcoming the visiting families with open arms. He said the other restaurants in the Valpo Association share his enthusiasm to help the University. “When potential students and their families see what a friendly campus VU has along with a great downtown, we think kids will want to call Valpo home for 4 years. It’s a win-win”
