Robin Gibson '03 Compares State of Two Cities in Indianapolis Star
October 21, 2010
October 21, 2010, Greencastle, Ind. — "Although I attended DePauw University in Greencastle, I put Indiana in
my rearview mirror and headed back to my home state for what I thought
was for good," writes Robin Gibson, a 2003 DePauw graduate, in today's Indianapolis Star. In a letter to the editor, she notes, "For the past five years I have worked, lived and attended
law school in the Detroit area; however, when faced with the decision of
where to build a career and future, the right choice for me is to
return to Indiana."
According to Gibson, who will graduate from Thomas M. Cooley Law School of Auburn Hills, Michigan, in January, "it has become clear that a financially secure future in my home state
is not an option today. I must therefore look elsewhere in the Midwest
to begin 
my post-graduate life. I am choosing Indiana because of the
fiscally responsible choices leaders in Indiana have made for the state
and its communities over the last several years."
She declares, "I was pleasantly surprised during a recent visit to find that, less than 300 miles away from the blight of Detroit, Indianapolis has managed to not only maintain the integrity of the city but also to encourage growth and development during these times. I was shocked to see cranes actually building structures as opposed to tearing them down."
