While most college freshmen are happy just to find their classes, Madeleine Jurkiewicz (in the blue dress) is tackling IU’s curriculum and promoting her first full album in the same semester. Jurkiewicz, the elder of Indy sister-singers Lily & Madeleine, settled into campus life after the pair spent the summer touring the Northeast and recording a self-titled album, released last month.
