You may recall that in the last issue of Portico we explored the strategic planning process under way. I invited you to help us plan UIndy’s future by joining us for one of our Vision 2030 sessions, and many of you did.

I’m so pleased that more than 1,600 of our community members have offered us their vision for UIndy. The Vision 2030 process has included discussions, retreats, conversations, an interactive “imagination wall,” and a survey relating to space needs. The results of our planning efforts are now coming into focus. In the “word cloud” images on pages 6 and 7, you can see the ideas that emerged from the student, alumni, parent, and faculty/staff groups over the course of many conversations; the various sizes of the words indicate their relative prominence in the conversations.

As part of our planning work, our task forces on intellectual and campus life, technology/online education, space, and communication and branding, which have a combined roster of 135 faculty and staff, have met regularly over a period of several months and have made their recommendations Dr. Robert L. Manuel to the 34-member University Planning Commission about needs and priorities. The Commission is University President now in the process of prioritizing these initiatives.

To keep the process transparent, we developed a “subway map” model for our website outlining the process. When you visit it at www.uindy.edu/vision, you’ll see that each circle along each route represents an activity that has taken place; clicking on one will produce a short summary with related photos or videos.

The process has energized the campus community. It has combined listening, sharing, and imagining with action that is consistent with our direction. Some common themes have emerged.

Create more opportunities for our students and our faculty to engage with each other through increased opportunities in undergraduate research, mentoring, and advisement. Use the campus resources as a source for economic redevelopment in the University Heights area. Prioritize investments by putting support behind those programs, projects, and initiatives that have the best prospects for lifting the entire University.

I hope you will stay connected and help us make the collective vision a reality.

The eyes of the world were on U.S. Senator Richard Lugar last fall, as he prepared to leave office and finally answer the question: What will he do next? The answer might have surprised some observers, but not necessarily the University of Indianapolis community, which has counted the respected statesman as a friend since his tenure as the city’s mayor more than four decades ago. At a December press conference that filled the Esch Hall atrium and made international news, Lugar and UIndy President Robert Manuel announced the formation of the Richard G. Lugar Academy. The Nobel Peace Prize nominee is now a Distinguished Professor in UIndy’s Department of History, Political Science & International Relations, where he’s been instrumental in helping the University establish a high-level Washington, D.C., internship and study program for students from Indiana and across the nation. “Senator Lugar is deepening his commitment to the University,” President Manuel said to the assembled crowd. “We are pleased to welcome him home again to UIndy.” In January, the University opened a branch office in Washington with a full-time staff member to support the new internship program and related conferences, symposia, policy studies, and other Academy activities. Beginning this fall, students enrolling in the Washington Semester will divide their time between classes and seminars on national and global issues and professional experience in settings such as congressional offices, federal agencies, think tanks, embassies, international organizations, or government relations firms. They also will interact with Lugar and enjoy social activities, tours, and cultural outings organized by the Academy staff. At the home campus in Indianapolis, the nonpartisan Lugar Academy will host prominent speakers and develop a program to prepare first- time elected officials for public office, drawing on the resources of UIndy’s Institute for Civic Leadership & Mayoral Archives.

10 PORTICO spring 2013 Couple’s $1.35-million gift funds new education scholarship

A new scholarship in the School of Education helps promising teacher candidates complete their bachelor’s degrees, thanks to the generosity of a UIndy alumna and her husband. The Delbert and Virginia Stevens Education Scholarship is funded by a $1.35-million endowment from the deceased LaPorte couple’s estate. Virginia Stevens ’42 retired from LaPorte Community Schools after a career as a teacher and principal; she passed away in 2011. Delbert Stevens, who passed away in 2010, taught for many years in the Hammond school system. Full-time students in good standing who are majoring in Elementary Education or Mathematics Education are eligible to receive the tuition assistance for their junior year, renewable for the senior year. “Once they get into that junior year, they’ve shown that they’re committed to education,” explains Dr. Kathy Moran, dean of the School of Education. The scholarships may also help some students avoid the need to work for additional income as they enter the most rigorous portion of their undergraduate education. “The junior and senior years are so intense,” Dr. Moran says. “This gift helps us to reduce that financial pressure for our top students.” The first awards from the scholarship fund were presented this year by the Department of Teacher Education, which identifies potential candidates during the sophomore year and gives preference to students with financial need who have demonstrated leadership and a commitment to community service. More information on teacher education programs and scholarships is available at www.uindy.edu/education.

UIndy degrees lead to state’s hottest job prospects

The Indiana Department of Workforce Development recently released a new “Hoosier Hot 50 Jobs” ranking, and once again, the future looks bright for graduates of UIndy’s top programs. Physician, registered nurse, and physical therapist top this year’s list, corresponding nicely to UIndy’s programs in pre-medicine, nursing, and physical therapy. Other UIndy-related disciplines in the Top 20 alone include post- secondary teacher, social worker, marketing specialist, graphic designer, K-12 teacher, and occupational therapist. The DWD researchers weigh trends in salary, job availability, and other factors in compiling the annual list, which projects the state’s fastest-growing, high-wage occupations for the year 2020. It’s no coincidence that some UIndy folks are featured in the photos and video profiles that represent each occupation on the state’s website. They include Professor Jerry Flatto of the School of Business and alumna Nichole Wilson ’02 ’06, who earned her master’s and doctoral degrees from UIndy’s Krannert School of Physical Therapy and now serves as director of Rehab & Sports Medicine for Community Health Network.

Greyhounds boogie at marathon to raise money for Riley

Eight UIndy sports teams volunteered at UIndy for Riley’s annual Dance Marathon on January 19, helping the organization raise more than $6,000 for Riley Hospital for Children. The annual Dance Marathon event is the largest fundraiser of the year for UIndy for Riley, which is dedicated to raising funds for the hospital. The group’s goal for the year was $6,000, and they surpassed that with the event, which is a six-hour- long marathon attended by UIndy students and Riley children. “It was great that both our men’s and women’s teams could come out for such a worthy cause,” men’s tennis student-athlete Trevor Cox said. “It was a fun time teach- ing all of the kids to properly ‘Gangnam Style,’ and the fact that UIndy raised more than $6,000 is just incredible.” In attendance for this year’s Dance Marathon were the UIndy softball, volleyball, football, men’s soccer, men’s and women’s golf, and men’s and women’s tennis teams. The Greyhounds danced and played various games with the Riley kids in hour-long shifts in support of the event.

School of Nursing launches online RN-to-BSN

UIndy is taking one of its most popular nursing degree programs online, making it accessible to working nurses throughout the state who want to advance their careers. The School of Nursing first launched its RN-to-BSN program in the early 1990s to help registered nurses— licensed after two to three years of education—to complete their bachelor’s degrees, the level of preparation that is becoming the healthcare industry standard. The program is currently offered in an accelerated hybrid format of weekly class meetings and online content that can be completed in 12 months, and also in on-site formats designed for employees of the IU Health, Hendricks Regional, and Franciscan St. Francis health systems. Beginning this fall, the same UIndy curriculum will be available in an online format that also can be completed in 12 months. Now accepting applications, the online program is open to licensed nurses currently working in Indiana. Financial aid is available, and students will have the flexibility to move from the hybrid to online format, or vice versa, as their circumstances change. “It opens the door for people who don’t have access to our campus or our partner locations,” says Professor Connie Wilson, director of UIndy’s RN-to-BSN program. Evolving standards among healthcare providers and nursing professional associations are making the Bachelor of Science in Nursing degree more important than ever, Wilson says. The industry is bracing for a wave of nursing retirements. Enrollment in two-year associate’s degree programs is increasing, but those nurses typically will be expected to complete their bachelor’s degrees within five years of entering the field. And major hospital systems are now adopting the nursing associations’ recommendation that 80 percent of their nursing workforce should hold bachelor’s or advanced degrees by 2020. “The thrust is coming now from the employers too,” Wilson says, noting that nurses who delay obtaining higher degrees may find their career options limited. More information about the UIndy School of Nursing’s online RN-to-BSN program is available at http://nursing. uindy.edu, by emailing [email protected], or by calling 1-800-232-8634.

16 PORTICO spring 2013 English professor named dean for College of Arts & Sciences

After a national search, UIndy in December selected Dr. Jennifer Drake, professor of English, to be dean of the College of Arts & Sciences. Drake has served since August 2011 as acting dean of the college, which is UIndy’s largest academic unit, comprising 14 departments in the humanities, sciences, social sciences, and fine arts. It includes public radio station WICR-88.7 FM/HD, the Christel DeHaan Fine Arts Center, the Archeology & Forensics Laboratory, and the Indiana Prehistory Laboratory. Drake joined the faculty in 2004 as an associate professor. In 2008 she was named director of UIndy’s Woodrow Wilson Indiana Teaching Fellowship, a nationally acclaimed master’s degree program that prepares career-changers and recent college graduates to teach math and science in high-need schools.

UIndy hires archivist for city history collection

The University of Indianapolis has selected Mark Vopelak to be head archivist and curator of its Institute for Civic Leadership & Mayoral Archives. One of just 14 certified archivists in the state, Vopelak had been serving as supervisor of the Indiana State Library’s Manuscripts & Rare Books Division. The institute, now under development at UIndy’s Krannert Memorial Library, is being built upon the University’s vast collection of city government documents, photos, and related artifacts from the mayoral administrations of Richard Lugar, William Hudnut, Stephen Goldsmith, and Bart Peterson, as well as materials from other donors. The institute is envisioned as a national hub for research, education, and public programs exploring the events and people behind Indianapolis’s reinvention as a world-class city. Vopelak initially will focus on cataloging and digitizing the collection—now contained in several hundred file boxes—to make it accessible to scholars and the general public. As the institute is established, he will work to maintain and expand the archives. Support for the project so far has included a $2-million startup grant from Lilly Endowment Inc. More information on the Institute for Civic Leadership & Mayoral Archives is available at: http://www.uindy. edu/giving/civic-leadership.

UIndy names new VP for advancement

The University of Indianapolis has selected an experienced hospital fundraiser with a background in law to be its new vice president for University Advancement. Christopher H. Molloy is certified as a fundraising executive through CFRE International and has served since 2005 as president of IU Health’s Bloomington Hospital Foundation, overseeing development, special events, constituent relations, and an increase of more than 300 percent in total yearly giving during his tenure. He will begin work at UIndy in April, managing day-to-day opera- tions in fundraising, prospect research, alumni and parent relations, and special events. Previous positions have included assistant dean for development and alumni relations at the University of Maryland School of Law and president/CEO of the Lambda Chi Alpha Educational Foundation in Indianapolis. He also practiced law for 12 years and has taught undergraduate pre-law courses. “Chris’s background matches nicely with the missions and traditions of the University, and he brings a unique range of experience to this key position,” UIndy President Robert Manuel said. “He is ideally suited to the work of securing support for the major initiatives we are gearing up to launch.”

‘Why Arts?’ event looks to city’s cultural future

More than 300 artists, patrons, and arts administrators gathered in UIndy’s Ruth Lilly Performance Hall in December for a frank and spirited discussion on the challenges facing the Indianapolis cultural scene. “Why Arts? Why Indy?” was the brainchild of Dr. Kathleen Hacker, associate professor and chair of UIndy’s Department of Music. She was pleased with the turnout and plans to keep stoking the public discourse with future events on campus. “I was just thrilled,” Hacker said, noting that 100 attendees responded to a follow-up survey with additional ideas. “We’re going to continue as an advocacy arm for the arts community. They need a place to be inspired, a place to connect, and a place to continue the dialogue.” The event’s centerpiece was a panel discussion featuring Michael Kaiser, president of the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington, D.C. Assisted by moderator Dennis Ryerson, retired editor of the Indianapolis Star, Kaiser talked and fielded questions with co-hosts David Hochoy, artistic director of Dance Kaleidoscope; Glen Kwok, executive director of the International Violin Competition of Indianapolis; Beth Perdue Outland, vice president for Community Engagement & Strategic Innovation with the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra; Steven Stolen, managing director of Indiana Repertory Theatre; and Jim Walker, executive director of the Big Car community arts collective. Although Hacker had been mulling the idea for some time, the viability of the city’s arts organizations became a hot topic last fall when budget concerns forced the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra to cancel performances. Amid the public concern over that issue, Kaiser and the other panelists were quick to sign on and participate in the event. With that group now serving as an advisory board of sorts, Hacker is working to formalize the vision, mission, and structure to create an organization that can seek funding and host further discussions and other events. She also hopes to bring other universities, schools, and arts groups into the process. “How do the arts define Indianapolis? Why are the arts vital to the fabric of a great city? How can this community help its arts organizations face the current challenges?” Hacker said. “These are important questions. People need a way to discuss them, and I’m pleased that UIndy can provide that forum.” See WFYI Production’s video of the December 10 “Why Arts? Why Indy?” at http://vimeo.com/55792179.

When it came to hitting the links, Steve Danser had accepted for years a golf destiny of shooting about 100. He rationalized nobody could fault him for that. The 63-year-old Indianapolis golfer had his right leg amputated in 1990 and lost part of his right hand back in 1963. “I used that as an excuse for never being able to shoot better than 100,” he said. Then, last summer, he met Kim Moore. “After three lessons with Kim, I care about my score because I can score now,” said Danser, who surprised his older brother by besting him with a round of 88 at Stonycreek Golf Club in Noblesville. Nothing makes Moore happier than to see another amputee learn how to enjoy sports. From the time she was 2 and started walking on the stump that remained from having her right leg amputated at birth, Moore refused to be limited by what others would say is a handicap. “In golf, handicap means something totally different,” she said. On the advice of her father, Moore took up the game at 15, made her high school team at Fort Wayne Bishop Dwenger, progressed enough to earn a scholarship at the University of Indianapolis and became such an inspiring story that the NCAA created an annual spirit award in her honor.

I need to get them up and “What a wonderful girl,” Danser said. “She’s moving again.” so patient. And she’s turned my golf game around. As the PGA’s only teaching professional who “I can’t get enough of playing golf now. This is an amputee, Moore works with NAGA as well next year, I’m going to be playing a lot more, if I as in conjunction with SRT’s National Prosthetics can find somebody to play with.

Wilson, February 24, 2013. overtake what I want to do in life,” she said. Reprinted with permission of the Indianapolis Star. “That’s what I try to convey to others who I talk with who have disabilities and are like myself. “They want to quit and they want to give up. You see it all the time, especially new amputees. They will get fit for a prosthesis and never use it. They will just sit around and their stump will change and it hurts them to put their prosthesis on.” Told their youngest of three children would never walk, Chuck and Jane Moore quickly realized otherwise and decided Kim needed a prosthesis when the 2-year-old girl started hobbling around. In addition to the right leg being deformed and subsequently amputated below the knee at birth, Kim was born with a club left foot. She’s probably had more surgeries over the years on her left foot than what remains of her right leg. Not that it slowed her down much. “She just kind of took off,” said Jane, 58. And she hasn’t stopped. Chuck was at the The Players Club in Yorktown, Ind., when Kim recorded the third of four career hole-in-ones. “I’ve played 40 years and I’ve yet to get one,” said Chuck, 60. “I’d be jumping up and down and going nuts. Not her. She raised her arm in the air and kept walking.” This much was clear about Kim from an early age. She never complained. And she didn’t get overly emotional about much. “She’s never felt sorry for herself,” her mother said. “And it just seems like the older she gets, the more she helps others.” PGA pro Kim Moore ’03, a standout Greyhound golfer, works with client Gary Sutton.

Borden served both the University of Indianapolis and the GLVC for nearly 30 years. As a founding member of the league, Borden was the first elected president of the GLVC and served on all the conference commissioner search committees since 1980. He was a member of the Awards Restructuring Committee as well as the GLVC Expansion visitation team. “Dr. Borden is a very deserving inductee into the GLVC Hall of Fame,” UIndy Vice President for Intercollegiate Athletics Dr. Sue Willey ’75 said. “The student-athlete experience was always his first priority and he was active in conference and NCAA governance with that in mind. He was a respected leader who remains in contact with many former students and student-athletes.” On campus, Borden was UIndy’s Faculty Athletics Representative from 1980 until his retirement in 2005. He was the first chair of the UIndy Faculty Athletics Committee and served as the chair of the chemistry department from 1977–1989 following a two-year stint as UIndy sports information director.

UIndy celebrates loyal donors with 1902 Society A lot can happen to a campus in 25 years. In 1988 the University of Indianapolis saw the end of the “Top Dog” basketball rivalry between UIndy and Butler University; the campus lost Trimble Hall to a fire; and Dr. G. Benjamin Lantz Jr. was inaugurated as the University’s sixth president. One thing, though, has remained the same through the years—the support of the University’s friends and family. UIndy recently welcomed almost 400 households into the 1902 Society. This new giving society, named for the year of the University’s founding, celebrates donors who have made gifts in 25 or more fiscal years. Small gifts over time can have a huge effect. Together, the members of the 1902 Society have donated more than $7.1 million to UIndy. Donors are recognized for gifts of any size to any fund, and membership is perpetual. Members of the 1902 Society receive special communications and event invitations throughout the year, as well as a special lapel pin. Sisters Sandra L. Ptritchett ’71 and Cheryl Sunman ’78 are members of the 1902 Society. Both noted that the school served them well, and they still visit campus often. “The growth and changes over the last forty years,” the sisters said, “have kept the University’s programs up to date with larger schools while still maintaining the atmosphere of the small, private liberal arts school which appealed to us when we were students.” For more information about the 1902 Society, please contact Carrie Sorensen, donor relations and stewardship coordinator, at (317) 788-2070 or [email protected].

Tracking success

UIndy’s Athletics & Recreation Center soared to international fame last year when it hosted practice sessions for the Super Bowl Champion New York Giants, but now it is realizing its true destiny. The football field that once filled the center’s 68,000-square-foot air-supported dome has long since been replaced with field sports amenities and a six-lane track that’s been enjoyed throughout the campus community. In February the ARC hosted its first major conference event, the 2013 Great Lakes Valley Conference Indoor Track and Field Championships, with 11 schools vying for men’s and women’s titles. The ARC is gaining a reputation as the finest such facility in the conference, said Sue Willey, UIndy’s vice president for intercollegiate athletics, and it’s probably the only indoor site in the state well- suited for major NCAA track events. It will remain the GLVC championship host site for the next two years. At the event, the UIndy men’s team claimed their fourth consecutive title and the 40 PORTICO spring 2013 women’s team came in second.
