We’re thrilled to share highlights from an incredible year at the O’Neill School. Together, we’ve continued to build on our strengths—earning top rankings in public and environmental affairs across both campuses, welcoming a record number of students, and adding new faculty who enrich our vibrant and engaged community.
In these pages, you’ll see what makes O’Neill so special: our outstanding students and alumni, our first-class faculty, and our evolving programs that prepare students to lead and make a difference in a changing world. You’ll find stories of alumni who are shaping their fields, such as this year’s award recipients and Alyssa Nyberg, whose prairie restoration work is transforming landscapes and communities. You’ll also read about new academic offerings, including our Master of Public Policy degree, and the many ways our students are making an impact—through internships, research, and community engagement across Indiana and beyond.
Our progress continues to be driven by the people who make up the O’Neill community—students who are eager to serve, faculty who inspire and innovate, and alumni who give back and lead by example. I’m deeply grateful for your continued interest, engagement, and support.
We are fortunate to be part of a community that takes on challenges with courage and creativity, relies on one another, and works every day to make the world a brighter place.
