Commencement took
place on Saturday, May 13.
Baley Halberstadt of Fairbanks, Ind. and Aaron Schaidle of Peoria, Ill. served as

After the commencement ceremonies, the newest alumni stopped by the Alumni Association table to learn more about staying connected. This year, the Alumni Association offered parents, family members, and alumni a
#BeForeverBlue box option, which included a membership to the Blue Card Club. We were happy to see an extremely positive response to the boxes.
Check out the video recent graduates, Kelsey Darin, '17, and Aryn Richey, '17 put together to show their fellow classmates what was in the

In her senior year at Indiana State, Neily Stough worked on a project with MasterBrand Cabinets to gain "real-world experience."
She also visited the business on spring break
as part of the Operations and Supply Chain Management (OSCM) program at Indiana State.
"The experience and connection gave me a competitive advantage, I feel,
in the market place," said Stough, who graduated cum laude in May 2016.
It certainly did. Stough was hired as a buyer for MasterBrand Cabinets of Jasper, one of the largest cabinet manufacturers in North America.
"ISU most definitely helped me get this position," Stough said. "I am very grateful to ISU for the opportunities I was given. Without ISU, I do not know if I would be in the position I am today."

Sycamores abroad show there is #MoreToBlue
|
|
With graduation wrapping up, this summer will send many Sycamores to new cities, diploma in hand, to begin their next adventure. But summertime holds just as many new adventures for current students who take advantage of one of many study abroad programs Indiana State University has to offer.
From England to Scotland, down to Italy and all the way over to Japan- there are several programs for students and summer is the perfect time to take advantage of those opportunities. These Sycamores decided to venture to Ghana for the first few weeks of their summer break. Head over to the Study Abroad website to learn more about how our students are proving that there really is #MoreToBlue!
