Why the IU Alumni Association is important to me:
The IU Alumni Association chapter network has provided me with opportunities to meet people in a city where I did not know a single person when I first moved.

Why I chose IU
I chose IU because the landscaping and layout of the Bloomington campus is immaculate. The people are extremely friendly, and everyone on campus takes an interest in helping each other. The Kelley School of Business is nothing but the best!

Favorite memories of IU
My favorite memory is from my senior year. It was Mike Davis’s second year coaching the men’s basketball team, and he took them to the finals in the NCAA tournament. We lost, but the campus was a zoo. After the Duke and Kent State victories, students were out on campus hanging from telephone poles and hugging people that they had never met before.

Advice to undergraduates
My best advice is don’t try to get involved in everything, but definitely try new things. Become involved in things that interest you the most. You will find that the clubs, associations, and sports that interest you are also of interest to people with whom you will have a lot in common. Your interests are great relationship builders.

Why the IU Alumni Association is important to me
The IU Alumni Association chapter network has provided me with opportunities to meet people in a city where I did not know a single person when I first moved. All of us share a common interest — IU. Through that interest, I have met tons of great people. If you’re ever in Boston, look up our chapter.
