During her time at IUSB, Ashley received the Dental Hygiene Pearl Award, served as Secretary of Hoosier Hygienists, and participated in program events including Give Kids a Smile and Bright Smiles, Bright Minds.

After graduation, Ashley plans to begin her career as a dental hygienist and continue making a difference in her community. Her long-term goal is to return to IU South Bend as a clinical instructor to support and mentor future dental hygiene students.

Class of 2026: After beginning her journey at IUSB in 1991, Rhonda Lynn Marietta has come full circle, returning and earning her degree 35 years later.

“In 2024, after my son graduated from high school, I decided it was time to return and complete my degree,” Rhonda shared. “I am incredibly proud to be finishing what I started—accomplishing this goal after 35 years means more to me than words can express.”

Rhonda earned her Bachelor of General Studies while working full time for School City of Mishawaka and continuing her commitment to supporting children. During her final two years at IUSB, she achieved a perfect 4.0 GPA each semester.

She began her studies in 1991 as a business major, later transitioning from a career in banking into special education as a paraprofessional while continuing her work with students.

Returning to school alongside her son was especially meaningful. “Sharing that journey and working toward our goals at the same time made it a truly unique and special experience.”
