Minerva and Ella visit Indiana University

This Fall, Minerva and Ella received the opportunity to participate in a campus visit at Indiana University through a multi-day recruitment program for IU applicants. They met with possible mentors, explored the campus, and had a chance to sit in a seminar class with graduate students. They believe that Indiana University has a lot to offer! http://graduate.indiana.edu/about/diversity/visit-iu.shtml
