Kassing, ’64, and his wife, Troy, has expanded the scope of the Milt and Judi Stewart Fellows Overseas Scholars Program, which funds international KASSINGS’ GIFT EXPANDS externships for Indiana Law students each summer. STEWART FELLOWS PROGRAM An endowed fund, the Robert P. and Troy Kassing Stewart Fellowship Fund, will create income immediately to provide stipends and living expenses for the Stewart Fellows. The income will be matched by the President’s Global Experience Fund as part of the university’s Bicentennial Campaign. “We are honored that Bob and Troy have made this very generous gift to the Law School,” said Dean Parrish. “Their support of one of the school’s most popular programs will enable us to expand its reach to even more students who are looking for a unique and challenging summer experience.” Kassing is a partner in the Indianapolis firm Bose McKinney & Evans LLP, which he joined in 1964. He was named a partner in the firm in 1969 and served as its managing partner from 1971 to 2004. Kassing concentrates his practice on business consulting, business formation and structuring, succession planning, mergers and acquisitions, and other business growth and exit strategies. A longtime member of the Law School’s Board of Visitors, he co-chaired the school’s successful Matching the Promise capital campaign with V. William Hunt, ’69. Since its inception in 2010 with a gift from Milt Stewart, ’71, and his wife, Judi, the Stewart Fellows Program has sent more than 150 students to 12 countries, including Argentina, Brazil, Cambodia, China, India, Japan, Korea, Mexico, Poland, Thailand, Uganda, and Vietnam. Students have served externships with law firms, global corporations, or nongovernmental organizations.

The 2014 graduate began his career at Faruki Ireland Cox Rhinehart & Dusing in Dayton, Ohio, where he knew he wanted to practice litigation. But something began to happen: Heck found himself litigating an increasing number of cases involving the Fair Credit Reporting Act and other data-related issues. “We saw a need emerge,” Heck said, “and soon we began building a privacy practice, dealing with issues like HIPAA, financial institutions and data breaches.” When a colleague moved to the Dayton office of Taft Stettinius & Hollister, he recruited Heck to come with him.
