WWW.UINDY.EDU 3 President’s forum The roots you remember are bearing fruit today It will be easy this spring and summer to observe the bricks-and-mortar projects ramping up on campus and see them as the fulfillment of our Vision 2030 strategic plan. And there’s no denying the excitement so much activity creates. But of course the real excitement has another source altogether. Yes, the UIndy Health Pavilion at the corner of Hanna and State actually looks like a building, not just a construction site, especially now that the windows are in place. Right after Commencement, Krannert Memorial Library is closing for the summer (though we will continue to make its print collections available) to undergo a renovation that will bring it decisively into the 21st century. (See page 14.) The College of Health Sciences, including the schools of nursing, occupational therapy, and physical therapy, will soon vacate Martin Hall for the move to the new health pavilion—a perfect opportunity to upgrade many of our science labs and determine the new uses for the space. But what I encourage us all to focus on is the why behind these projects. They are in fact being undertaken as part of the realization of the UIndy verities: maintaining and building on tradition, honoring the commitment to community, and striving to have a positive impact on that community—defined both narrowly and broadly. For example, the health pavilion will enable cross-disciplinary research and collaboration as never before on our campus and will give our students opportunities for hands-on learning while helping Dr. Robert L. Manuel to meet community health needs. In keeping with University tradition, students will develop stronger University President relationships with faculty as they partner in research and clinical opportunities. The revitalized library will employ technology and learning spaces that enable students and faculty to work together on interdisciplinary research and presentations. Attractive new vistas of the Smith Mall quadrangle and a café will reinforce a sense of campus community, encouraging socializing and offering refreshment without unduly interrupting study and research, as students will no longer need to leave the library for coffee or a bite to eat. The upgraded science laboratories of Martin Hall will better prepare our students for the world they will encounter in their careers. The new townhouses will accommodate the increasing demand for housing both on and near campus while helping to create a new standard for the Shelby streetscape. These and many other initiatives are part of the $50-million investment in the University and the neighboring community, a five-year plan of capital projects and educational enhancements approved by the Board of Trustees in February 2014. This will build a foundation for the University to seek support for programs, scholarships, research, and endowed positions that will create an unparalleled experience for students and put UIndy at the national forefront of higher education. The strategic plan calls for many improvements to programs and facilities, and all spring from the core educational values and traditions that you, our alumni, hold dear. The feel of the place, the low student-to-faculty ratio (12:1) that leads to personal attention, our impressive employment and grad-school placement rates for our graduates—all these hallmarks continue. While the bricks and mortar serve as visible reminders of growth, the University’s ethos is thriving, and its work continues in earnest. So I hope you will see these projects as part of our continuing efforts toward fulfilling the promise your alma mater has always held. That promise is the real reason for the excitement on campus.

Burlingame, Ph.D., Chair Doctoral Committee ______________________________ Robert G. Barrows, Ph.D. March 6, 2015 ______________________________ Nancy Marie Robertson, Ph.D. ______________________________ Philip V. Scarpino, Ph.D. ii Acknowledgments My thanks begin with my doctoral committee. Dwight Burlingame advised me throughout my entire program, chose the perfect readings for me in our dissertation seminar, helped me shape the project, and read each chapter promptly and thoughtfully. His steadfast belief in my scholarship and his infinite kindness have been invaluable. Phil Scarpino and Bob Barrows led the seminars during which my dissertation idea took shape. Nancy Robertson challenged me to look at the work from many different angles and suggested a veritable treasure trove of scholarship upon which to draw. All their questions, comments, guidance, and encouragement have helped my work more than mere words can express. My colleagues in the doctoral program and students in the undergraduate program provided unwavering support as I lovingly talked about my research, “my organization,” and “my time period.” I especially thank Barbara Duffy, who chose the Charity Organization Society of Indianapolis (1879-1883) for her History of Philanthropy doctoral seminar research project. I enjoyed talking about “our women,” sharing our emerging ideas, swapping sources, and basking in one another’s “Eureka!” moments as we made one connection after another.

    Indiana University Lilly Family School of Philanthropy ANNUAL REPORT July 1, 2014 – June 30, 2015 philanthropy.iupui.edu A Message from Inspiring Change the Dean What’s next? It’s a question I’ve been asked frequently during my first months as dean Amir Pasic of the world’s first school of philanthropy. The answers are exhilarating, in part because the past year has been one of rapid growth, change, and innovation, paving the way for the possibilities that animate us going forward. A record number of graduates completed our Philanthropic Studies programs. Groundbreaking research projected the future of giving, and international partnerships from Berlin to China expanded understanding of philanthropy globally. New initiatives by Lake Institute on Faith & Giving and the Women’s Philanthropy Institute revealed insights to aid congregations, donors, and nonprofits, and The Fund Raising School equipped them to fulfill their important missions. Our greatest strength remains our talent. Our faculty, our staff, and especially our students are the way we improve the world. We are inspired by them, just as we hope to inspire them to make meaningful change. Alumni already are achieving great impact, improving the human condition across the country and across borders around the globe. Anticipating achievements and opportunities to come, we are first and foremost dedicated to our students’ success, redoubling our commitment to Mission Statement them and to all we serve. As we grow, we continue to benefit from the expertise of The Indiana University colleagues who have transitioned into new roles and we thank Dwight Burlingame, Lilly Family School of Tim Seiler, and Bill Enright for their ongoing service.
