School of Liberal Arts Student Successes
Nicole A. Ramsey
M.A. Public History
I was drawn to IU's well-integrated system as a non-traditional student (a mom of 5 coming back to the academic world after more than a decade away). As a researcher in the liberal arts, I love tapping into the resources offered by such a world-class university system.

Allison Luthe
Ph.D. in American Studies
My doctoral research culminated in a short film, Talking Guns Project, that through candid interviews with ten Indianapolis teenagers who have been charged with gun-related offenses...sheds light on the social, economic, and personal factors that contribute to their decisions, aiming to foster a deeper understanding and empathy within the community.

Golnoush Kazeminezhad
Ph.D. in Economics
I chose IUPUI's economics graduate program due to its focus on research in health economics, supported by exceptional faculty. The welcoming and collaborative atmosphere within the department also played a significant role in my decision.

In addition to Indy (and Indiana) being “home”, I am honored to call IUPUI my academic home.

Shonda Nicole Gladden
Ph.D. in American Studies
I’d have to say that I don’t feel as if I chose the graduate school at IUPUI, but rather, the graduate school at IUPUI chose me. At the time of my acceptance to IUPUI I was single parent, social entrepreneur, and a full-time local pastor of an AME Church here in Indianapolis.
