“We are extremely proud of Susan,” said Gary R. Roberts, Dean of the Indiana University Robert H. McKinney School of Law. “She is a perfect example of how our alumni take their law degrees and do even more than practice law. Many of them go on to become leaders in a variety fields, including in the political arena.
