    Founded in 1801 by U.S. President William Henry Harrison, VU is located in Indiana's first city, Vincennes, once the capital of the vast Indiana Territory. The modern, 120-acre Vincennes campus is surrounded by historical treasures, such as Harrison's frontier mansion, the George Rogers Clark National Historical Park--site of an American Revolutionary War battle--and the legendary Wabash River.  A few steps away, you will find one of the most modern campuses in the state--currently undergoing the largest building expansion in history.  Opening this year is VU's new Donald G. Bell Student Recreation Center and the Red Skelton Performing Arts Center.

    I invite you to make your first choice Indiana's first college--Vincennes University.  You will find a world of opportunity at VU to reach your goals.
