Welcome Week lore: officially unlocked. 💚

Our students kicked off the semester by meeting new friends, finding clubs, exploring campus resources, grabbing freebies and enjoyed coffee, pastries, tacos and churros along the way. 🌮

And this is only the beginning. 👀

At orientation, our new students got the full campus experience before classes even started. They met future classmates, got familiar with campus, learned about support resources, and met our mascot Hivy the Bee. 🐝

19 new registered nurses are joining the healthcare workforce. 🩺🎓

Our first ever evening Transition to ASN cohort has officially graduated, with all 19 students finishing on time. These healthcare professionals continued working while training to become RNs in less than a year. LPNs, paramedics, military medics and CMA-AAMAs can all become RNs through the program.

For these 19 graduates, this is the next step in careers they’ve already been building.

Congratulations to our first evening nursing cohort! 💚👏

Congratulations to Dr. O’Neill on being named a 2026 Women Excel Bloomington award recipient, presented by The Greater Bloomington Chamber of Commerce

Dr. O’Neill leads the teams that support every aspect of the student experience. She creates opportunities, builds confidence, and helps students, coworkers, and community partners reach their full potential.

Today, on National Purple Heart Day, we honor the service and sacrifice of Purple Heart recipients. 💜

This recognition extends beyond a single day. As an Indiana Collegiate Purple Star campus, we are leaders in military student support and are committed to providing the resources, flexibility, and community needed to succeed.

We pause in gratitude and respect and carry that commitment forward in our work every day.
