Give the Gift of Opportunity
“Studying business at UIndy has allowed me to blend creativity, strategy, and real-world experiences. Local internships with Visit Indy and Eskenazi Health, along with leadership roles with Axis, have prepared me for a career in marketing and branding. And my coursework has given me hands-on experiences, such as creating full advertising campaigns for local businesses, that I will carry into my career.” —Jairo ’26 (Marketing)
“UIndy has prepared me to make an impact in the classroom from day one. Through experiences like volunteering for a local middle school’s Science Day and supporting English-language learners, I’ve built skills and confidence to carry into my teaching career. Faculty have made sure we connect with local schools early, giving me hands-on experience and a clearer understanding of the difference I can make as a teacher. These experiences have made me even more certain that teaching is where I’m meant to be.” —Lucas ’26 (History & Secondary Education)
“Choosing UIndy has truly transformed my path forward as I pursue a future career in cognitive psychology research. My professors have encouraged me to take on advanced research, and guided me as I study cultural health barriers and develop my master’s thesis. As mentors, they have believed in me every step of the way and it has shaped my future while giving me the confidence to lead in my field.” —Ainsleigh ’27 (Psychology)

Grace Rout '25 (Biology & Chemistry)
“My education at UIndy has been largely supported by donors like you. While many think they are only giving students the gift of education, it is actually so much more. Through my UIndy experience, I’ve built connections, taken part in incredible research opportunities, and found fulfillment and purpose. These experiences have prepared me for graduate school, where I’ll pursue a Ph.D. in chemistry.”
Build Program
“Build keeps you afloat long enough until you can learn to swim on your own. This is my semester without Build, and I am doing it because it set me up to be successful.”
Casey Adams '26 (Music Education & Vocal Performance)
“I hope to carry on UIndy’s mission in my classroom after I graduate—by educating my students and giving them a love for music. I hope one day my students can continue that love whether it’s being a music major or simply listening to music. They can take what I’ve given them and use that to appreciate music and nurture that love.”

They’re always willing to go with you throughout the journey.”
