Besides cross country, he soon immersed himself in multiple experiences including Pep Band, the BOSS program, the Student Activities Advisory Team, virtual reality lab and more recently serving as an IU East Police cadet. As he nears graduation, he sees his change as something just meant to be. He can’t imagine having gone anywhere else.

The team in the School of Business, combined with the IU Police Department became a path to his new career in a full-time position on the Carmel, Indiana, police force. “Without IU East I wouldn’t have any of the opportunities I’ve been given.” The great connections and opportunities IU East brings extends into its family atmosphere, especially for Johnny who experienced a challenging time when he lost a close friend in 2020.“

All the support and outreach I received was amazing – the dean of students reached out to me. At a bigger school, you wouldn’t get that. IU East was a life-changing experience.”
