Favorite UIndy memory: “Getting to perform in Jazz Ensemble and Jazz Combo.” - Nate Dirck ’20 (music, with tech and recording concentrations)

"UIndy's greatest impact on me was helping me direct my passion. They helped me navigate my interests and helped me with career goals. I came in knowing that I wanted to make an impact on other people. I always had a passion for helping others and solving problems. Through conversations with faculty members and fellow students, I found that I wanted to become a physician who could use his passions, mixed with several different areas of study, to improve the life of another human being." - William Durchholz '20 (chemistry, pre-medicine)

Favorite thing about UIndy: "The community. I felt so included my whole time at UIndy. I was really welcoming and I've made some amazing friends.

I am forever proud to be a Hound." - Darian Murray '20 (psychology with a concentration in clinical and counseling studies and a minor in social research)

"UIndy has helped me develop my leadership skills in many ways. I've had the opportunity to serve in many roles such as resident assistant, Chapel Steward of Worship and Vice President of Project Regalia. In all of these roles, I have had amazing supervisors who genuinely cared about my growth and development as a leader." - Neicey Ross (psychology major, philosophy minor, concentration in clinical and counseling studies)

"UIndy has impacted me a lot. I have made friends, found what I want to do in the future and had guidance over these last four years. My advice to freshmen would be to get involved in anything that interests you! That's where you make friends, memories, and discover new opportunities." - Megan Pokal '20 (operations and supply chain management)
