In this role, the organization serves as an Advocate, Capacity- Builder, Convener and Resource for those who serve youth. We have accomplished much in the past 26 years and look forward to the future! As central Indiana’s most trusted champion for youth, MCCOY helps ensure that every young person has innovative opportunities to thrive, learn, engage, and contribute. • As an advocate, MCCOY unifies individuals and organizations to promote youth voice in public policy. • As a capacity-builder, MCCOY provides tools and trainings for youth professionals to build skills and effectively serve young people. • As a convener, MCCOY gathers passionate community members in partnership to build solutions for youth issues. • As a resource, MCCOY connects young people and their families to the programs they need to achieve their dreams. With these perspectives in mind, we’re excited to publish the Youth Activity Directory (YAD) for the 23rd year. If you’d like to download a PDF of the YAD, it is on our website. This year we are introducing a new digital version of the YAD which will work as an interactive database that families can use to search for the best programs and resources. We produce this resource with one key goal – to help families, youth, and caring adults find the best programs, the programs that help children and teens develop the skills, knowledge, and attributes they need to be productive and healthy. VISIT WWW.MCCOYOUTH.ORG TO LEARN MORE 2019 YOUTH ACTIVITY DIRECTORY Using the Youth Activity Directory Whether you’re a young person, a youth development professional, or a caring adult, this directory is a great resource for you. With the help of this resource, you can do the following: • Find out about youth programs and organizations that work with youth. • Look up volunteer and career planning opportunities. • Check out what’s happening around the city for young people. • Get information about summer camps. If you’re a parent or an adult working with a young person, invite youth to participate in your youth activity exploration – the best program for them will usually be the program that they’ve helped pick. Find the right program Picking youth programs can be a challenge for parents and youth. As you research opportunities and services, there are two key questions to ask: • Does this program reflect the interests and abilities of my child? • Is this a high-quality program? The first question can be answered through open conversations with your child and the program staff. The second question can be a little bit trickier. A high- quality program is safe, has a welcoming atmosphere, fosters positive interaction among youth and staff, and invites youth to make decisions and engage actively with program activities. These are all topics you can discuss with program staff or assess by visiting a program before you register. To find out more about this directory or to have your organization listed, please contact MCCOY at [email protected] or call 317.921.1266. Thank you to Franklin Township Middle School West for working on the cover art for this directory.

    Social Life and Social Services in Indianapolis Networks During the Gilded Age and Progressive Era KATHERINE BADERTSCHER ABSTRACT: In late nineteenth-century Indianapolis, a group of citizens, united by social networks, dominated the gov- ernance and management of the city’s social services for several decades. The tight-knit network of men and women worked together at the center of social and philanthropic life. Since its inception in 1879, the Charity Organization Society of Indianapolis (COS) wielded virtual control over social welfare—making it one of the most progressive and powerful philanthropic organizations in the country. An influ- ential coterie of men and women governed, donated to, and volunteered for the COS and many of its sub-agencies. Then, as now, social networks are as essential for us to understand as social entrepreneurs and charismatic leaders.

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.

  • School of Physical Education and Tourism Management
    School of Physical Education and Tourism Management Records, 1873-2009 UA 036 UA 036 - page 1 School of Physical Education and Tourism Management Records, 1873-2009 UA 036 11.0 c.f. (10 cartons, 1 document box, and 1 flat box) ABSTRACT The Indiana University School of Physical Education opened in 1866 as a private school for the instruction of gymnastic teachers and is the oldest continuously operated school of physical education in the country. The school’s faculty and graduates have played a major role in the introduction of physical education into the public school curriculum and in the development of physical education as a discipline. The school, first known as the Turnlehrerseminar (Gymnastic Teachers’ Seminary) and then as the Normal College of the American Gymnastic Union, was started by the American Turners, an athletic, cultural, and social organization founded by German immigrants in 1850. The school originally trained instructors for the athletic programs run by Turner societies, but by the late nineteenth century many of the school’s graduates were teaching in public schools as school systems began adding physical education to their curriculum. The Normal College, which moved to Indianapolis in 1907, merged with Indiana University in 1941. In 1946 the school became a department within the Indiana University School of Health, Physical Education and Recreation, then in 1971 became an autonomous school under its current name. Records include correspondence, minutes, faculty and student records, financial records, alumni records, publications, and other records. ACCESS Student records in these records are restricted for 75 years after creation. All other material is open to the public without restriction.

    IUPUI University Library ANNUAL REPORT, 2013–2014 21 years, 21 stories 21 years. 21 stories. The library has come of age. And we have stories to tell. On the 21st anniversary of the IUPUI University Library building, we have much to celebrate: We serve more than 1 million visitors a year, 10 percent of them community users. We fuel the scholarly pursuits of more than 35,000 students and faculty. We employ 60 student workers each year, helping them afford their IUPUI education. In these pages you will find 21 stories that represent just how far we’ve come in our first 21 years—and how far we might go in the future. These stories are just the beginning. There are so many stories left to write. IUPUI Library dedication, April, 1994. The Heart of Campus Over the years, the library building has meant many different things to students, faculty, and community members. It has served as a place for quiet study and reflection, a space for collaboration, a gathering place for students from the far reaches of campus. In short, it is the heart of campus. In its 21st year, we want to celebrate the STORY NUMBER unique history of this IUPUI landmark. Built of Indiana limestone and featuring large windows, the library remains a distinctive building on an ever- 21 changing campus. Architect Edward Larrabee Barnes boldly created a building that featured natural light as the focal point, a decision that was at odds with the construction of traditional library buildings. At the time of the building’s opening in 1993, the library was one of the most technologically advanced public university libraries in the country.

  • Athenaeum Turners Records, 1876-2002 Mss
    Athenaeum Turners Records, 1876-2002 Mss 032 Athenaeum Turners Records, 1880-2002 Mss 032 13.4 c.f (10 cartons and 6 flat boxes) ABSTRACT The Athenaeum Turner organization was founded in 1851 as the Indianapolis Turngemeinde. This athletic and social organization was patterned on German clubs that had supported the 1848 revolutions that attempted to form Liberal republics in several European kingdoms. The men who established the Indianapolis Turngemeinde and the competing Indianapolis Socialistischer Turnverein (merged in 1852 to form the Indianapolis Socialistischer Turnegemiende) tried to create a community focus for the rapidly expanding immigrant population. The activist political backgrounds of many German immigrants led to a strong emphasis on the Turner idea of developing both a strong mind and strong body in order to better serve society. After the American Civil War, for which many Turners volunteered due to anti-slavery beliefs and a desire to demonstrate loyalty to their adopted nation, the reorganized and renamed Indianapolis Socialer Turnverein became the primary focus for German business and culture in the city. Certainly the German House (das Deutsches Haus), built between 1894 and 1898, was designed to serve as more than just a center for physical training since it contained a restaurant, theaters, and a number of meeting rooms. From the 1890s, the leaders of the Turner organization were also directors or important officers in dozens of prominent businesses and cultural organizations. This led to some overlap in the interaction between public, private, and political affairs in the German community of Indianapolis - and this is reflected in the collection.

  • Race, Containment, and the Settler-Imperial Politics of the Green Revolution
    Race, Containment, and the Settler-Imperial Politics of the Green Revolution By Hossein Ayazi A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Environmental Science, Policy, and Management in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Alastair Iles, Co-chair Professor Keith P. Feldman, Co-chair Professor Kathryn De Master Professor Thomas Biolsi Summer 2018 @Copyright by Hossein Ayazi 2018 Abstract Race, Containment, and the Settler-Imperial Politics of the Green Revolution by Hossein Ayazi Doctor of Philosophy in Environmental Science, Policy, and Management University of California, Berkeley Professor Alastair Iles, Co-chair Professor Keith P. Feldman, Co-chair From roughly the early 1940s to the early 1970s, the United States led a set of international capital-intensive agricultural research, technology, and education transfer initiatives. These initiatives were designed to facilitate a more expansive market agrarianism, increase agricultural yields, and combat hunger amidst concerns of a rapidly growing population. Yet, named the “Green Revolution,” these initiatives, in their push for the development of industrial agriculture oriented to the global market, ultimately preempted peasant unrest and undermined larger revolutionary action as they reconstituted states as guarantors of agricultural markets in service of U.S. state power and transnational capitalism. This dissertation, Race, Containment, and the Settler-Imperial Politics of the Green Revolution, recognizes the Green Revolution as an exercise in the risk management of racial capitalism during a period of great social upheaval: when overlapping, internationalized anticolonial and civil rights movements named the limits of racial democracy and risked undercutting postwar U.S.
