If success were a straight line, none of us would have a story to tell. After facing a stage four cancer diagnosis at the end of her freshman year, Kelley graduate Kate Johnson learned what it truly means to show up. As the IU Bloomington student speaker for the Class of 2026, she shared three powerful lessons: the twists are the path, showing up is not one size fits all, and hope is a choice.

Watch her full commencement address to hear her powerful perspective on resilience and the community that carried her through.

Still reeling from the nail-biting finish? Joey Brienza has faced similar challenges. In 2021, he crashed while leading late in the race. Two weeks later, he won his next race. "I had to decide if that moment was going to define me," Joey says. "Or if I was going to come back stronger." A finance and accounting student at Kelley, Joey is competing in USF Pro 2000 on the ladder to IndyCar while maintaining honors-level academics. https://bit.ly/3Q5JCB5

From NFL and IU Quarterback to orchestrating some of the most significant IPO openings on Wall Street, Kelley alum John Paci's career path shows that leadership under pressure translates across industries. As Morgan Stanley's lead trader and stabilization agent, John has opened trading for companies that have shaped our modern economy. His next and biggest IPO? SpaceX. https://on.wsj.com/4vbnFQa

It is expected to be the largest initial offering ever. The sheer volume is so tough to manage that it may not open until the afternoon.

"The Academy turned me into a sharper critic of the very thing I was learning."

For Kelley Full-Time +Flex MBA student Shreya Bandyopadhyay, the Organizational AI Academy was about more than just tech tricks. It was an eye-opening look at implementing AI in business responsibly, tackling everything from black box decisions to the golden rule of keeping humans in the loop.

Through a no-code, business-first approach, students explore the use of AI in business alongside leaders from boardrooms to government halls. You will graduate with the fluency to use today’s most relevant tools and the perspective needed to lead organizational change.

Stop wondering and start leading. Learn more about the Academy: https://bit.ly/42ln16i
