Ethan Jackson is a 19-year-old freshman and a direct admit to the Kelley School of Business. He is from Bluffton, a small town in northern Indiana, where he has lived his whole life.
Ethan Jackson is also a transgender male, a distinction that the University attempts to honor through its housing assignments.
Born female, Jackson decided to transition last summer after a trip to New Zealand, where he lived with relatives. He had not decided anything previously, but the trip to New Zealand helped him make his decision to change, Jackson said.
