Crimson. Grey. Everyday.

It’s time to meet Kivonte, a senior graphic design major from Chicago, Illinois. Like many other students, it was important to Kivonte that his university would provide him with not only a great education, but also a strong and diverse community. Kivonte, we all can’t wait for you to tell us more about the family you found right here at UIndy.

– Appreciate that, Alex, what’s going on everybody? I’m from the Southeast side of Chicago, and growing up in that area, my opportunities were limited. However, when I discovered UIndy, I immediately knew this was the place for me. UIndy welcomes everyone from all walks of life. We have a very diverse student body and exudes a feeling of belonging. While at UIndy, my main two involvements have been the football team and the Office of Inclusive Excellence. I’ve been working at the Office of Inclusive Excellence since my freshman year. OIE ensures the safety and inclusivity of our entire student body. I’m able to work on projects that highlight different cultural events and achievements. Football has been a love of mine since I was 10 years old. UIndy’s football program is ranked one of the top Division II schools in the country. In the last 10 years, we won seven championship titles, two of which I’ve been a part of. In addition to football, UIndy has over 20 NCAA Division II teams. If you’re interested in competing in college but not the NCAA level, we also have a variety of club sports for students to get involved in on campus. No matter your interests from competitors to spectators there’s something for everyone at the University of Indianapolis. When I graduate in 2025, I plan on using my BFA in graphic design for what I love most. My education has helped me develop my own streetwear brand. I plan on opening up a unique space for artists from various disciplines to come create whatever they desire. I thank God every day because without Him none of this would be possible. I also thank my friends, my family and the University of Indianapolis, go Greyhounds.

– Your future is bright Kivonte, and we have no doubt that your UIndy community will be behind you through it all. Thanks again.
