INDIANAPOLIS—IUPUI has named three IU School of Liberal Arts students as 2022 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 am delighted to see three of our outstanding Liberal arts graduate students represented as the finest on our campus.
