Representation matters for Black women college students when it comes to belonging in rigorous science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) programs, according to a new study. Having role models who share their racial identity is vital to signaling a sense of belonging for women of color college students.

This year 45 School of Science students are on the Top 100 list, up four students from last year. Students will be recognized at the Top 100 Students Recognition Dinner on April 12, 2019. The Top 10 students will be named during the dinner along with one student recognized as “IUPUI’s most outstanding student.”

IUPUI students celebrated the capstone of the 17^th annual Jagathon--a 15-hour dance marathon--on March 2. These students have also been denoted as "miracle-makers" as they strive to bring hope to the patients at Riley Hospital for Children at Indiana University Health.
