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.”
