As a Kelley student, you have the talent to succeed. But the path to success isn’t easy—you will face challenges. Your intended path may change, or the things you found easy to do in high school take more effort in college. You may feel anxious, lonely, or overwhelmed.
You don’t have to work through these difficulties alone. The Student Support team is available to help ensure your success, both academically and personally.
