IU School of Education at IUPUI Student Success
Julie Marie Frye
M.S. Urban Educational Leadership
I selected IUPUI for this degree program, because I wanted to continue my journey as a school leader, specifically focusing on issues related to Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Accessibility. I also know that IUPUI professors would give me individualized attention, and I knew there were opportunities for women on our campus.

Renita Evans
Ph.D. Urban Education, minor in STEM and Special Education
I have lived in Indianapolis my whole life. There is no place I would rather be (except in the winter). My love for basketball and the Midwest made it easy to stay . . . and Long’s Donuts.

Ph.D. in Urban Education Studies at IUPUI and Ph.D. in Curriculum and Instruction (Mathematics Education) at IUB
"I had the pleasure of working with some of the amazing IUPUI School of Education faculty in my former position as a secondary mathematics teacher in Indianapolis Public Schools. In working with Dr. Monica Medina and her secondary education students and hearing about the critical, cutting-edge nature of the then-new doctoral program in Urban Education Studies, I knew IUPUI was where I needed to be."
