Erica Gleason

Student Success Advisor, HLS Cluster

Erica Gleason's Profile Photo
Pronouns:
she/they
Email:
ergleaso@iu.edu
Department:
Academic and Career Development
Campus:
IU Indianapolis

Education:

  • Master of Arts in Higher Education, Taylor University, 2016
  • Bachelor of Science in Environmental Science, Taylor University, 2014

Professional Experience:

  • Tenure with the Office of Academic and Career Development: Started May 2022.
  • Favorite part about the work you do: I love getting to know students and playing a role in their process of becoming who they are. I also enjoy working in team settings and being on a college campus!
  • Past jobs and experience: My career up until this position has been in housing and residence life—first at a tiny school in Texas and most recently at Ball State University. I also worked briefly as a barista at a coffee shop in Texas.

Advice to students: Be open to and hold space for questions: What do you value? What do you enjoy, and what motivates you? How do you learn and work best? Say "yes" to experiences and opportunities that align with those things. Give yourself space to grow, change, and discover.

If you could be any major in your cluster, what would it be? Why?
Public health. During my undergrad, I took a few courses related to environmental ethics and public health. I loved learning about the ways our relationship to the environment impacts our health and imagining a healthier bigger picture.

Biography: I grew up in Huntington Beach, California, but have lived mostly in Indiana since starting college. I have been a runner since high school and am usually training toward some sort of new goal. I also love all things outdoors—hiking, camping, biking, and looking at trees and birds. I enjoy visiting friends and family, experiencing coffee, and hanging out with my adopted cat, Rocky.
