- Dr. Cory Campbell
“The faculty at Indiana State University provided me with a great education. I left the School of Business well prepared to sit for the CPA exam. The opportunities that I received in teaching supplemental instruction classes, meeting with industry contacts, and hands-on learning put me on a path to success in my career. Thanks, ISU!”
- Ellie Caldwell, Sackrider & Company
“The professional- and career-focused student organizations available, like Beta Alpha Psi and Delta Sigma Pi, which I was president of, were huge for me.
