With more than 11,000 undergraduate students on the IU Indianapolis campus, choosing the top students is no easy task. Each year, the university honors 100 undergraduates for their academic excellence, community engagement, and campus leadership.
This year, the O’Neill School has three students on the list: Sukhpreet Gill, Ally Shelton-Jones, and Bridget Janney.
“I was deeply honored and grateful to be recognized among IU Indianapolis’ Top 100 undergraduates,” Gill says. “This achievement reflects the mentorship, support, and opportunities I’ve received throughout my time on campus, and it reinforces my commitment to excellence in public service, law enforcement, and cybersecurity. Knowing that my work has made an impact motivates me to continue pushing forward in my academic and professional journey.”
Janney echoed that sentiment, saying it was a significant honor for her that she was recognized by a campus she loved so much. For Shelton-Jones, it was a time to think back on her time at O’Neill.
“It was a moment of reflection—of all the long nights, the sacrifices, the challenges I had overcome to get here,” she says. “As a first-generation college student and a Black woman, this recognition meant more than just an academic achievement—it was a symbol of breaking barriers and proving that my voice, my work, and my story matter.”
