Attending Indiana University Southeast is senior Gracie Kaine, who has great experience when it comes to speaking in front of a crowd.
Kaine intends on graduating with a major in Organizational Communication...
Laura Caruso, communication senior, has not had a typical college experience. She has not attended college for four straight years or been ready to graduate, until now. However, she said this long, winding journey through school was not due to a lack of motivation, but rather to a plan for the future
Caruso said she first attended IU Southeast straight out of high school in 2005, took a break after 2008 to put her husband, Michael, through classes at Purdue University and returned in 2011.
“It’s a big deal to me that I actually got myself back here, and I’m balancing — sometimes horribly — making sure my husband has food and getting good grades,” she said.
Most students think of two things for the first day of classes: syllabuses and self-introductions. For many, reading the syllabus is the easy part and coming up with something interesting to say is not. For lack of better alternatives, most end up just blurting out that they have a cat or like to watch TV. There are some people, though, whose unique answers seem destined for the task.
If still a student, Audrey Deterding, assistant professor of communication studies, would be one of those people.
“I’d probably say that I have four sisters because it’s something kind of unique, and it would be something that people remember,” Deterding said.
IU Southeast came away victorious in the 70-minute game against Berea College, held Oct. 2 in the Activities Building.
The Grenadiers swiftly held off the Mountaineers throughout each set to come away with the win in three sets; 25-15, 25-17, 25-15. This fast-paced game was dominated by attacks from both teams.
IU Southeast ended the game with 38 total kills to the Mountaineers 16.
IU Southeast started a new program to help students obtain jobs and track involvement for the future.
The program, called My Involvement was designed by Indiana University and came about from a partnership with IU Southeast, Bloomington and IUPUI.
Located on OneStart, My Involvement is designed to allow students to get involved in a club or sport easier. Students can pull up a list of clubs to see information about the group and what activities they have coming up.
