INDIANAPOLIS—IUPUI has named five IU School of Liberal Arts students as 2023 Elite 50. This honor is presented annually to 50 graduate and professional students who demonstrate excellence beyond the classroom in areas such as campus leadership, scholarly work, and community engagement. These IUPUI Elite 50 represent the best of the best among IUPUI’s graduate and professional students and capture everything that makes IUPUI exceptional.
“I was thrilled to see five of our outstanding Liberal Arts graduate students represented in the 2023 IUPUI Elite 50.
