Connie Coover-Lewis

I worked to help put my husband through law school. His career brought us to Indianapolis and Eli Lilly, where he hired several Indiana University law school graduates. We had two children, several foster placements, and adopted a young boy.

When two of our children were in college, I decided it was time to fulfill my dream and enrolled at IUPUI, achieving a degree in marketing at age 45. Tom Bidwell was one of my financial professors and was so encouraging.

Graduating was one of the happiest days of my life. I made two lifelong friends who were also reaching their goals at a later time in life. IUPUI, you gave me the confidence that, at any age, you can achieve your goals. Thank you!
