Student Story

Mathematics

My favorite aspect of the Mathematics Department at UIndy is the caring, nurturing attitude of the professors. I felt that I had my very own math family. I still keep in contact with several of my math professors, and they are always happy to help me. Majoring in math at UIndy has given me a lifelong support group, which I value greatly. It has also fostered in me an excitement for learning math and a drive to succeed.
