Hi there! My name is Linden Spalding. I am a Junior from New Albany, IN and I am studying Speech and Hearing Sciences here at Indiana University.

I am very passionate about new students and helping them have the best college experience possible. Please feel free to get in touch with me if you have any questions or comments. I would love to hear from you! Go Hoosiers!
