The Olaniyan Scholars Program

The Olaniyan Scholars Program is highly selective and yet very supportive of student goals. Once each student’s interests and major are identified, the program is customized to enable each scholar to optimize their academic, professional, and career goals. Throughout their years of eligibility, each scholar is not only mentored and supported within the program, but also works under the guidance and mentoring of a faculty member in their chosen area of study. Together the scholar and their faculty mentor design and work on a research project throughout the academic year. Scholars also gain valuable experience, not only as researchers, but in presenting their work at a conference and/or student research forum.

Additionally, scholars participate in community internships in partnership with organizations working to enrich, support, uplift, and encourage African and African American populations in Indianapolis. These internships are crafted to fit student needs and interests.

Norman Brown Diversity and Leadership Program

Cultural, social, economic, and educational discrimination in America has produced a situation in which certain citizens are considerably underrepresented in higher education. Considering this social and historical context, recommendation from a select committee of campus faculty and staff defined the term, underrepresented student, as referring to students with African American, American Indian, Asian American, and Hispanic American ancestry. Understanding that a number of factors impact a student's access to higher education, equal consideration is given to students enrolled in disciplines in which their race, ethnicity, and/or gender have been historically underrepresented. As such, this program serves as an intergal component of Indiana University's and more specifically IUPUI's commitment to increasing campus diversity.

The Norman Brown Diversity and Leadership Scholars Program provides an important mechanism for ensuring student success. By fostering an enviornment where underrepresented students recieve adequate funding to pursue their degrees, are provided a mentor to help steer them through their academic career, are immersed within the activities of the IUPUI community to embed a sense of citizenship and leadership, and are saturated within a culture of other scholars to help with their social development, NBDLP is producing avenues for underrepresented students to succeed in acadamia and beyond.
