I began my history with IUPUI as a recent high school graduate. I decided to give Criminal Justice a try.
After attending for one semester, I decided to move to Florida. In the 1980's, I came back from Florida with a young child in tow. I then began attending the School of Physical Education where Nick Kellum was the dean. He was a great role model and very encouraging. I also had Bob Lovell as a teacher, and he was an excellent mentor. I again left to go to Florida and leave my college career.
Due to life circumstances, I eventually decided to finish my college career. After graduating from Ivy Tech in May 2018, I decided to pursue the degree completion program through the school of Liberal Arts. I was shocked and pleased by the expansion of the campus. IUPUI was basically a little commuter college when I attended in the past with more of an Ivy Tech feel. It is now a large campus with students living on campus. It has come a long way since the 70's and 80's. I am happy that I made the decision to finish my college education at IUPUI.
