This year, Indiana University has selected 28 outstanding recipients for the Kate Hevner Mueller Outstanding Senior Award. In this article, we congratulate Caroline Anders for her ability to represent Dr. Mueller’s essential goals of the university: to promote intellect, develop personality, and inspire citizenship and leadership to all students.

When asked to reflect on her vast support system, Caroline said:

Thank you so much to my friends, family and mentors who supported me through the past four years. I know it’s cliche, but I couldn’t have written any of the stories or done any of the work I did without your late-night phone calls and encouraging messages.”
