  • Major: Psychology
  • Year: Senior
  • Goals for after graduation: Academic advising and teaching.
  • Favorite thing about IU Indianapolis: Some of my favorite things are the different student jobs I have had around campus, being part of the yoga club on campus, and all the nice people I have met from those two things. I like that the school plants native Indiana plants around the campus. I also enjoy walking up to the White River and seeing all the turtles. 
  • Advice for School of Science students: Come to class every day and submit every assignment. It can help your grades. Also, try to major in something you truly enjoy, not what others tell you too.
