Class of 2028 shares why IU is the ideal launchpad

As the school year begins, thousands of new students have arrived on Indiana University’s core campuses in Bloomington and Indianapolis. For many, it’s their first time on collegiate grounds as an undergraduate and their first step on a journey to shape the world.

The Class of 2028 is full of passionate, mission-oriented people who want to make a difference. Six freshmen share why IU is the ideal place for them to achieve their goals.

First-class academics

Alexis Nguyen, a freshman on the Bloomington campus, is a first-generation college student from Carmel, Indiana, with dreams of going into medicine.

“I chose IU because it was one of the best options for my major, biology pre-med,” Nguyen said. “Not to mention, the sheer amount of variety they have to offer is incredible.”

The Department of Biology in the College of Arts and Sciences is nationally recognized for its world-class research, highly ranked programs and breadth of disciplines, including ecosystems, bioinformatics and genomics.

Sade Ilawole traded West Coast sun for B-town fun, hoping to matriculate through one of the top 10 undergraduate business programs . As a pre-business student , she’ll spend her first year taking Kelley School of Business classes in hopes of being admitted to the school her sophomore year. She plans to major in marketing, a program in which Kelley is ranked third best in the country.

Spencer Meyer was born and raised in Bloomington, so he is no stranger to IU. He’ll be preparing for the world stage at the Hamilton Lugar School of Global and International Studies and The Media School .

Elaina Gunn from Zionsville, Indiana, and Chandler Harris from Indianapolis are eager to explore the future of technology on the IU Indianapolis campus at the Luddy School of Informatics, Computing and Engineering .

“I wanted to select a university that catered to my needs and wants,” Harris said. “IUI is one of few that will allow me to study my interests and keep my personal life normal while elevating. I plan to major in informatics and either double major or minor in criminal justice.”

If Harris does so, she’ll be joining Libby Nuetzman at the Paul H. O’Neill School of Public and Environmental Affairs , one of the best public affairs schools in the country.

“I’m going to be studying forensics and investigative sciences,” said Nuetzman, from Plainfield, Indiana. “I chose IUI because it is close to home, and it has what I want to do in the future.”

Affordable and accessible

On the journey to higher education, many prospective students are faced with financial obstacles. As a state school, IU reduces that barrier for Hoosier learners through discounted resident tuition.

A wide variety of scholarships are also available. Meyer received a Provost’s Scholarship and a Direct Admission Scholarship from the Hamilton Lugar School, making his educational goals a reality.

Additionally, IU Bloomington has scholar programs designed to help students from underrepresented backgrounds get the support they need to succeed. Ilawole is a Hudson and Holland Scholar , which gives her access to mentorship, career development programming, wellness activities and academic enrichment. Nguyen, a member of the Groups Scholars Program that supports first-generation and underrepresented students, spent six weeks on the Bloomington campus in the summer with her cohort. She took classes while establishing a network of social and academic support.

“A big factor in choosing IUI was the scholarships and grants that were offered,” Harris said.

As a Norman Brown Diversity and Leadership Scholar , Harris will engage with the Indianapolis community through leadership and civic activities. She also received a scholarship through an IU Indianapolis partnership with the Center for Leadership Development , a nonprofit organization dedicated to the advancement of minority youth in Central Indiana.

The IU spirit is felt across the state, with a unique flavor on each campus. Gunn said she was drawn to the welcoming atmosphere of IU Indianapolis.

“I chose IUI because the opportunities are endless, not only for education and networking but for social acceptance,” she said. “I greatly admire how open-minded and loving the environment at IUI is, and how they put an emphasis on awareness.”

In Bloomington, athletics are a fierce source of pride, and Ilawole is excited to fight for the glory of old IU as a fan and a new player on the volleyball team.

“I chose IU because of the sense of community; the coaches and girls of the volleyball team felt like family,” she said. “I’m looking forward to meeting new people, going to sporting events and playing in the Big Ten.”

“I’m looking forward to discovering more about myself and learning new life skills,” Nguyen said. “I would love to get into some writing clubs. A friend and I even discussed starting a club of our own.”

For Meyer, having been around the Bloomington campus all his life, there is no other place he’d rather be.

“I chose IU because you can’t beat a Big Ten school with such a vast array of resources in your own backyard,” he said. “The facilities, faculty, events and culture are the perfect mix of college town vibes that no other college can match.”

Limited Access?

Can't find what you're looking for?

Double-check the bibliographic information. Ensure proper spelling of author names. Sometimes it helps to use partial titles, such as "Enforcement of Intellectual Property Rights in China" versus "The Enforcement of Intellectual Property Rights in China and the United States: Law & Society and Criminological Perspectives. "

Preview or Abstract Only?

When an author submits a dissertation or thesis for publication, they choose various copyright options, which may limit what you find in ProQuest.

Some authors will allow for wide dissemination of their work, making it easy for you to access the full-text simply through an internet search tool, such as Google. Conversely, authors can limit access so that only their home institutions have full-text electronic versions. In this case, you can use Interlibrary Loan services for either a digital or print copy.

Finally, authors may embargo their work for a period of 6 to 24 months. Reasons for an embargo vary, but you still may be able to obtain a copy by either contacting the author or the lending institution. It never hurts to ask!

Master’s thesis submission

Almost finished with your degree? This one-stop checklist helps you keep track of everything you need to do to graduate.

Start planning

How to submit

You must submit your thesis online through ProQuest. Make sure you read all of the submission instructions before submitting. 

View the instructions and submit your thesis

*Thesis must be content complete, committee approved, and publication ready before submission.

Once at the site, select “Submit my dissertation/thesis” and follow the instructions. When you create your account, enter the email address you use most. Once you’ve completed the final step, you will receive an email confirming your submission. You’ll learn by email whether your thesis requires any formatting changes within about a week. If so, the email you receive will contain instructions for making these changes.

A thesis embargo of up to two years is permitted at the time of submission. Once the two years are nearly over, any extensions must be approved by the Associate Dean of the University Graduate School. A request for an extension should be submitted, in writing, to the Assistant Graduate Recorder in the Indiana University Graduate School Bloomington and will be considered on a case-by-case basis. The need for a longer embargo needs to be well-justified, and the written request should include a detailed rationale.

You must also submit the Defense Signature Collection edoc, which may be found at the IU Graduate School Bloomington One.IU task center .

For more information, please contact the Assistant Graduate Recorder, Kerry Neal, at finek@iu.edu .
