Degree: BS’04, Member
High-Tech Success
With undergraduate degrees from IU and Purdue, both earned on the IUPUI campus, Thint Cho is an unequivocal IUPUI success story. Add to her academic qualifications her involvement in more than a dozen campus and community organizations and it begins to seem as if Thint eats, sleeps, and breathes IUPUI.
The founder of three campus organizations — the Asian Students Union, Women in Technology, and the Asian/Pacific Americans Association — Thint is also an advisor for the IUPUI Burma Students Association and serves as an executive board member of the IU School of Informatics Alumni Association.
An IUPUI staff member, working as a web developer and technology support specialist at IUPUI’s Center for Research and Learning, Thint is pursuing a master’s degree in media arts and science in the School of Informatics at IUPUI.
Not content to be just a leader, Thint strives to be an advocate for future leaders also. “I continue to give back to the university and surrounding communities to help the next generation,” she says. “I try to inspire them to take leadership initiative roles and get actively involved. [I try] to make a difference, make an impact, and help the university grow in many ways by getting involved in student organizations. This is what I’m most passionate about. In doing so, I feel a sense of gratification [particularly] in empowering women in technology-related fields.”
Thint is grateful that her IUAA membership enables her to network and interact with other alumni in the Indianapolis area.
“It is important to stay connected with other IU alumni,” she says, “because it helps me grow personally and professionally as they share their success stories in their professions and careers.”
