Madelyn Gamble’s journey to graduation at Indiana University has been marked by challenges beyond her control. Starting her freshman year with online courses due to the Covid-19 pandemic, she didn't meet her classmates until sophomore year. Now, protests related to the Israel-Hamas conflict have disrupted her senior year.
Gamble, an information systems major, hasn't been on campus since tensions escalated, leading to arrests of protesters. Her family has opted out of the main commencement ceremony due to safety concerns.
