Recognizing Excellence at IU Indianapolis

Each year, IU Indianapolis honors 100 outstanding undergraduate students who demonstrate excellence in three categories—academic excellence, campus leadership, and community engagement. These Top 100 Jags represent everything that makes IU Indianapolis exceptional.

About the Top 100

Since 2000, the Top 100 has celebrated Jaguars who have made a lasting impact on our campus. This award gives students a meaningful opportunity to reflect on their college journey and feel proud of all they’ve contributed to IU Indianapolis.

Families, supporters, and faculty join in the celebration during the annual Honors Convocation in April, where all Top 100 students are recognized.

Being named a Top 100 recipient reminds me that hard work, passion, and perseverance don't go unnoticed. It’s an honor that reflects not just personal achievement, but the support and inspiration I've received from my community.
