INDIANA STATE

WE DREAM in BLUE.

BLUE IS

INDIANA

STATE. It’s a family story—the first to go to college. It’s the focus and determination of a young cadet. It’s big plans put in motion when you take that first step. Indiana State University was proud to be ranked #1 in the state for Social Mobility*, a measure of how well a university welcomes students of lesser means to its campus, provides the support they need to graduate and helps them earn a degree with as little debt as possible and find high-paying jobs.

DO YOU KNOW 2

WHAT a SYCAMORE is MADE OF? Our student body represents the true diversity of Indiana, the country, even the world. That’s no accident. It’s who we are.

FACULTY

CLEAR THINKING. BOLD ACTION. 8

When our faculty are not teaching, they’re leading investment teams, coaching intern candidates or introducing students to employers. They are mentors, role-models and confidants. In other words, they are redefining what a personal education means.

We’re inspired daily by our faculty. For more on their amazing exploits, visit peopleofstate.com/faculty

FACULTY

“I tell my students it’s not just debits and credits. It is debits, credits and data. The challenge is to determine what data is relevant now that we have massive amounts of data at our disposal.”

Cory Campbell, Scott College of Business

ADVISOR

““I love seeing the connection of when students understand. I remember being on the other side. Any time you are passionate about what you do; it leaches into the rest of your world.”

Alberto Friedman, College of Health and Human Services

MENTOR

“We get students into the classroom right away. They actually get 300 hours in the classroom before student

teaching. It’s a hybrid of on-campus coursework and on-site experience.”

Becky Addleman, Bayh College of Education

LEADER

“Students get to know their professors and can come to us with questions about classes and help with things like getting a job because we make them feel like we are

more than professors.”

Azizi Arrington-Slocum, College of Technology

HANDS-ON

STEP into SOMETHING BIG. 10

Sycamores are going to work! Students at Indiana State go far beyond the traditional modes of learning. Come to Indiana State and, no matter your major, you will engage in hands-on learning. We make certain that every single student gets hands-on experience, often beginning in the first semester. It’s these experiential opportunities that distinguish our graduates and lead them to career success.

See profiles of Travis and other Sycamores doing big things at peopleofstate.edu/students

“My time at Indiana State was the most I could have made of it. I wanted personalization of my education and interaction with my professors, who knew me and my interests.”

Nick Sturgeon, ‘03 Director of Information Security, IU Health

“My professors were able to push me out of my comfort zone. They said, ‘you have to go for it.’ I never imagined that I would be able to go right out of school into the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit.”

Kayla Dunagan, ‘19 NICU Nurse, Riley Children’s Hospital

“Indiana State means growth to me. It’s a place to prove to yourself that you can achieve your dreams.”

Brian Jackson, BS ’07 GR ‘09 Principal, Jackson Law PLLC
