Faces and Places of IUPUI

"This volume beautifully illustrates IUPUI's many accomplishments in its first 50 years, from its beginnings rooted in extension programs and the IU School of Medicine at the turn of the 20th century through its evolution into one of one of the nation's premier urban research campuses. It also shines a spotlight on the people who made this innovative and engaged institution a reality in the thriving heart of Indianapolis."Michael A. McRobbie, President of Indiana University "As an IUPUI alum, I take great personal pride in the stories on these pages. As the mayor of Indianapolis, I am profoundly grateful for the remarkable contributions that each of these incredible people have made to our city and our state through their continued commitment to community service and engagement."Joe Hogsett, Indianapolis Mayor, IUPUI Alum "Faces and Places of IUPUI is a wonderful testament to the transformational and far-reaching impact that higher education has not only on students and faculty, but on our society as a whole. As a trustee of Indiana University, I deeply appreciate the vision and leadership of these featured Faces of IUPUI as well as so many others whose work is carrying this remarkable campus boldly into its second half century."MaryEllen Bishop, Indiana University Trustee and chair of the IUPUI Board of Advisors "What an honor to be among this stellar group of Jaguars, representing the unique and dynamic culture of IUPUI. To witness and be part of the growth of this extraordinary campus is a privilege that I will never take for granted. As we move into our next half century, we will continue to foster diversity, inclusivity, and equity through bold and meaningful actions."Etta Ward, Assistant Vice Chancellor for Research and Development and Face of IUPUI
