A group of nearly 100 non-traditional students, including their family members, gathered at the Louisville Zoo on Sept. 15 for a day of learning, fun and to share memories among exotic animals from around the world. Each attendee picked up their free ticket at the IU Southeast welcome table from Kimberly Pelle, coordinator for Non-traditional Student Programs, with her assistant, Yvonne Bagshaw, general studies sophomore and non-traditional student. “Coming to the zoo is not cheap,” Pelle said. “We can give them a free ticket, so it cuts down on costs, and they can bring their families.”
