Studying here gives me a lot of experience and opportunities to figure out what I want to do as far as my career. I’ve also found my people on campus and gotten involved with different organizations, especially those focused on the Black student community.

Right from day one at IUPUI, I was able to get a job. I was able to get involved with the dance marathon here and get my job as an ambassador. I would say everyone has been so welcoming and so friendly, and I had a lot of opportunities just right from the get-go during Weeks of Welcome. I was able to step out of my comfort zone.
