Let’s meet RJ, a public health major from Plainfield, Indiana. RJ is gonna tell us more about how UIndy supports its students through on-campus resources, including an office dedicated specifically to helping first year students transition to college life, and professors who are 100% invested in their students success in and outside of the classroom. You’re on RJ.

– Hey everyone, welcome to campus. When I graduated high school, I knew from the start that I’d be coming to UIndy, but that doesn’t mean that I had everything figured out at that point. But thanks to the amazing resources that I had access to and the wonderful people I met along the way, I was able to forge my own path and graduate on time even though I switched majors twice. The location, class sizes and opportunities for success all made UIndy feel like the perfect place for me to explore and grow personally and professionally throughout my college career. And it didn’t hurt that I knew the school well already thanks to my older sister. As a student, it was always reassuring to know that if I ever needed help, the university’s faculty and staff could help point me in the right direction. Students seeking assistance at UIndy can use services such as free peer tutoring, the Writing Lab and the Phil and Janet Terry Center for Campus Connections. Staff in this unique center will help connect you to the correct person, office or program so that you can succeed. One of my favorite things about UIndy is the support from faculty and staff. They’re always willing to help you reach your goals and emerge as the best version of you. No matter the issue, the university has resources to help you solve it. UIndy provided assistance that helped me grow as a student and make connections that will last a lifetime. I’m forever grateful to the faculty and staff for what they helped me accomplish throughout my four years here. At UIndy, there are new opportunities around every corner. That’s my story, back to you, Alex. Thank you, RJ. I loved hearing how you pushed yourself to succeed academically and weren’t afraid to ask for help when you needed it. Even better, that UIndy had the resources and faculty to give you that personal attention. Great story, thanks for sharing.
