About

My name is Ariel Cox. I am a student at Indiana State University. I am studying history and social studies education with the goal of becoming a professor at an accredited university. I grew up in the Lawrence suburb of Indianapolis, IN. My mother has a masters degree in business administration and works at commercial real estate firm as their main accountant. My mother has instilled in my character self confidence, determination, and hard working values that allow me to succeed and my studies and community endeavors. While attending Lawrence North High School, I was an active participate in Tri-Hi-Y, Student Council, SADD, National Art Honor Society, Student Athletic Training and other academic groups. As a student it is important to me to become a member and give back to the academic community. While attending Indiana State University, I've been a leader in the African-American campus organizations of Sisters T.O.O and MAPS mentors. I am truly devoted to not only my studies at Indiana State but also the campus life and community. This has fueled my desire to pursue a career in education and the advancement of today's students.
