I was a Bepko Scholar in the Honors College, which opened many doors for me. When working on an honors project with a professor, I made a lasting impression that landed me an internship at the Indiana Department of Health, and the Honors College study abroad stipend allowed me to learn about healthcare systems in the United Kingdom.
