ISU Impact: A Great Academic Ecosystem

Dean Kandi Turley Ames talks with scholarship recipients Dani Mecham and Noah Leary about the impact of scholarships on their lives and the benefit of interdisciplinary study at ISU.

The Resiliency Scholarship, recently introduced by the College of Arts and Letters, supports students nearing the completion of their degree to successfully finish their studies. The College of Arts and Letters Graduate Student Scholarship is awarded to a graduate student within the college. The conversation transitions from guests sharing the significance of scholarships to guests highlighting the appeal of a university and faculty that embrace interdisciplinary programs and prioritize nurturing the diverse interests of their students.
