Colin chose IUPUI (now IU Indianapolis) because of the opportunity to continue his education through the physical therapy program. “Being [chosen as a] Bepko Scholar is a massive honor and a welcome responsibility,” Darley said. He hopes to focus on increasing access to healthcare during his time at IU Indianapolis. Colin has already been involved in this by participating in a fundraiser to alleviate a family’s healthcare expenses for their child with cancer and raising $2600 for books, toys, and games for patients of Peyton Manning Children’s Hospital. He was also involved in sports at his high school where he was awarded the IHSAA Face of Sportsmanship award and Academic All State for Track and Tennis. Colin plans to use his passion for helping others at IU Indianapolis to increase access to healthcare.
