🌍 Faculty-led International Learning: India ✈️
Jennifer Mullen Diary entry - Day 1

Led by Dr. Aruna Chandra and co-led by Jennifer Mullen from Indiana State University - Scott College of Business, our immersive two-week abroad experience in southern India included the opportunity to visit one of the most exceptional botanical gardens, Lal Bagh Garden in Bangalore.

At this time of year, Bangalore is beautifully colored by blooming pink, yellow, white, and purple Tabebuias, along with the fiery red Gulmohar trees seen across the city.

We began with an introduction to Lal Bagh Botanical Garden, its origins, the vision of its founders, and the historic connection to the old Kempe Gowda fort and watchtower. The walk then moved into the influence of Hyder Ali and Tipu Sultan, whose love for gardens, flowers, and fruiting trees helped shape Lal Bagh into a remarkable botanical space. We discovered the hidden hero stones scattered across Lal Bagh - memorial stones commemorating warriors and individuals from nearly a thousand years ago. These carvings offer remarkable insight into early societies, beliefs, sacrifice, and storytelling traditions in southern India.

Other highlights included the pigeon nesting spaces, the statue of Chamarajendra Wadiyar X, and the iconic Lalbagh Glass House inspired by London’s Crystal Palace.

Along the way, we admired several remarkable tree species, including Araucaria, Yellow Tabebuia, Eucalyptus, and many other old heritage trees that form the living backbone of the garden today.

One of the most enjoyable moments was tasting the fallen mangoes and tamarind flowers from the garden. These experiences gave us a much deeper memory and connection with the landscape around us.

Thank you, Kavya, for being the founder of A Green Venture Nature Walks and for being our host for the day! We are truly grateful!

💙 This phenomenal group of business students (undergrad and MBA) had a great time!

Earlier this month, three graduates of Indiana State University were recognized among the 2026 Rising 30 honorees by Conexus Indiana, an annual program celebrating young professionals making an impact in Indiana’s advanced manufacturing and logistics industries. ✨

The Rising 30 program recognizes Hoosiers aged 30 and younger who are already helping shape the future of Indiana’s largest industry sector through innovation, leadership, and professional achievement. This year’s honorees represent organizations across the state ranging from global manufacturers to regional businesses and economic development organizations.

Among this year’s honorees are Indiana State graduates Brett Walker, Sasha Fry, and Taylor Young.
Walker, an electro-mechanical controls engineer at Allison Transmission Inc., was recognized for his contributions to product innovation and engineering solutions, including the creation of a specialized electromagnetic testing lab that has generated significant cost savings for the company. Walker earned his bachelor’s degree from Indiana State and is currently pursuing a master’s degree at Michigan State University.

Fry, who graduated from Indiana State with double majors in operations and supply chain management and marketing, serves as market quality unit lead at Honda Indiana Auto Plant. She oversees warranty analysis, quality performance initiatives, and corrective action processes while also serving on the Honda Young Professionals leadership team.

Young, a production control assistant manager at Toyota Material Handling, was recognized for her leadership and collaborative problem-solving efforts that helped improve supplier delivery performance and operational efficiency. A first-generation college graduate, Young worked closely with Indiana State faculty to complete her degree requirements early to begin her professional career.

According to Conexus Indiana, advanced manufacturing and logistics account for more than one-third of Indiana’s gross domestic product and employ hundreds of thousands of Hoosiers statewide.
