17th Annual Conference October 9-11, 2011 University Place Conference Center and Hotel Indianapolis, Indiana WELCOME TO THE CUMU CONFERENCE Dear Colleagues: IUPUI is honored to host the 17th Annual Coalition of Urban and Metropolitan Universities Conference Thank you for joining us for “Creating Tomorrow’s Future Today.” As a place with a unique history, IUPUI (Indiana University– Purdue University Indianapolis) was established in 1969 to bring together the academic programs of the state’s two major universities in the state’s capital and largest population center. As the mayor of Indianapolis said at the time, “A great city needs a great university at its heart.” In keeping with that charge, IUPUI has continued to work with community stakeholders to establish Indianapolis as an amateur sports capital, which made it an attractive place for the new NCAA Headquarters. During the conference, NCAA President Mark Emmert will speak, and the Monday networking dinner will be held at the NCAA Hall of Champions, adjacent to the campus. Representatives of the planning committee for Super Bowl 2012, which will be held in Indianapolis, will also be a part of the conference as they discuss the citywide coalition that formed to present the winning Super Bowl bid. Our dynamic and vibrant city has also received national attention with its award-winning “Indianapolis Cultural Trail: A Legacy of Gene & Marilyn Glick,” part of which runs through campus. Valerie Eickmeier, dean of the Herron School of Art and Design at IUPUI, will lead a walking tour of IUPUI’s public art installations. Conference attendees will also have an opportunity to tour the rest of the world-class urban bike and pedestrian path, which connects neighborhoods, cultural districts, and entertainment amenities, even as it serves as the downtown hub for the entire central Indiana greenway system. Other campus/community partnerships will be featured as Bob Bringle, director of the Center for Service and Learning at IUPUI, leads a bus tour of two of IUPUI’s key civic partnerships with neighborhoods on the near west side and the near east side of campus, including the Super Bowl Legacy Center. We hope you enjoy the conference and your stay in Indianapolis! Charles R.
