Although everyone travels a different path through IU, our students have one thing in common: They describe their time here as one of transformation.
No matter how well you know yourself or how concrete your goals are, while you’re at IU, you’ll find new causes, activities, and fields to be passionate about.
It’s up to you to discover them.
Find your passion, find your purpose, find your goal, and then go after it, because nothing is impossible.
