I am Carley Catarina Cruz. I grew up in Tampa, FL and have lived the latter half of my life in Indiana. After graduating from Avon High School in 2011, I continued my education at Indiana University (IU). I graduated from IU a year early as a political science major so I could pursue my dreams of becoming a student affairs professional. I chose to continue my education at IU as a master's student in the higher education and student affairs degree program. As a graduate student, I hold an assistantship in the Office of Student Ethics as a hearing officer. I also held a practicum position in the IU Groups Scholars Program Office tasked with developing a first year seminar. In addition, I advised a student group on campus called the Latino Enhancement Cooperative and have interned as a graduate supervisor for the Groups Scholars Program residential experience. I have also been able to teach two academic courses while at IU. As a Latina student affairs professional I want to work closely with and support other student of color by working in various functional areas like residential life, admissions, and multicultural affairs.

Best,

Carley C. Cruz
