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 excelled on our campus. This award gives students the chance to reflect on their college experience and feel a sense of accomplishment for all they’ve contributed to our university.

The Top 100 aims to be a fulfilling experience for our student body and a unique opportunity to bring the campus community together and reflect on IU Indianapolis student excellence.

The way to foster great leaders is to let them know that the hard work that they put into the programs that they are passionate about has been recognized and appreciated. Top 100 does exactly that.
