[Dan Niersbach:] There are so many Hoosiers
doing amazing things that there's someone that's

00:00:05.626 --> 00:00:07.876 align:middle
at the top of their career
almost everywhere you look.

00:00:08.376 --> 00:00:13.186 align:middle
[Unknown speaker:] IU has shaped my career and
life journey in more ways than I can count.

00:00:13.316 --> 00:00:18.066 align:middle
I was the same candidate six months before, but
with the IU name and with the IU opportunity,

00:00:18.136 --> 00:00:21.446 align:middle
I wouldn't be anywhere where
I am today without Indiana.

00:00:21.826 --> 00:00:24.026 align:middle
[Alexis Woods:] The alumni
network is very strong.

00:00:24.256 --> 00:00:28.606 align:middle
Being able to connect with different alums
in the area has helped me build my network.

00:00:28.836 --> 00:00:33.726 align:middle
You got to put yourself out there, go to every
event possible, especially if you're trying

00:00:33.726 --> 00:00:36.626 align:middle
to break into a new industry, new career path.

00:00:36.626 --> 00:00:38.536 align:middle
Someone is always willing to help you.

00:00:38.536 --> 00:00:42.376 align:middle
[Dan Niersbach:] For every opportunity
to give money, to donate to a fund

00:00:42.586 --> 00:00:46.126 align:middle
that might be earmarked for a cause you
care about, there are equally as many events

00:00:46.316 --> 00:00:49.106 align:middle
that you can get involved to
volunteer, to mentor a student.

00:00:49.106 --> 00:00:53.476 align:middle
At the end of the day, the alumni are what
makes up the credibility of the university.

00:00:53.726 --> 00:00:58.326 align:middle
And the better steward you are as an
alumni, the better impact in branding it has

00:00:58.456 --> 00:01:00.336 align:middle
for the students that will graduate one day.
