About IU Northwest Indiana University Northwest: An Overview As one of eight Indiana University campuses, IU Northwest leads the region as the premier, urban campus dedicated to serving the needs of more than 6,000 students from the state’s most diverse and industrialized region. The campus employs nearly 400 faculty members from throughout the U.S. and world, and 250 staff members with a variety of professional experiences. The 33-acre campus is located in the city of Gary’s Glen Park area and plays a vital role in the economic development of the region. Located 35 miles from Chicago, IU Northwest is accessible to students, faculty and staff throughout Northwest Indiana and the Chicago metropolitan area. The IU Northwest Campus consists of 16 buildings with a total square footage of approximately 900,000. Seven of the buildings are located on the 33-acre main campus site. The buildings are Raintree Hall, a classroom/office building and the Moraine student union building, which were put into operation in 1969; Hawthorn Hall, a four-story classroom/office building, which was occupied in 1976; and the John W. Anderson Library/Conference Center completed in the spring of 1980. A three-story science/laboratory building, Marram Hall, opened in 1991, and the Savannah Center, which houses an art gallery, auditorium, health club and bookstore, opened in 2000. In 2006, the University dedicated the new Dunes Medical/Professional Building. Renovation of the former Child Care Center on 35th Avenue was completed in the fall of 2014, which houses the Office of University Advancement and External Affairs. IU approved the renaming of the Child Care Center to Cedar Hall. Adjacent to the campus is a building for divisional, departmental, and faculty offices. Two other structures contain university offices, research offices, and campus support services. There are also a greenhouse and physical plant facilities. Check out our virtual campus tour at http://iun.edu/tour. IU Northwest is committed to fulfilling the promise of making accessible to its students: high-quality IU degree programs, incorporating excellence in teaching, learning, research and creative activity; strong liberal arts and sciences programs and professional disciplines; and diversity and civic engagement. IU Northwest positions its students to be leaders with more than 70 undergraduate, graduate and pre- professional degree options available through its various schools and academic divisions. IU Northwest is especially known for its excellent programs in the Arts & Sciences, Fine Arts, Business, the College of Health and Human Services, and the strong relationship with the IU School of Medicine – Northwest, the region’s only medical school, which is located on the campus. The many dimensions of diversity that characterize the campus’s 6,052 students make IU Northwest distinctive, even among IU regional campuses, and is a reflection of the region served with 67 percent female students, 30 percent of degree-seeking students attending part-time, 26 percent aged 26 years or older, and about 44 percent of degree-seeking students being students of color. The campus is IU’s most diverse and serves many adult learners, as well as younger students who have “adult” commitments, who balance the competing demands of college, work and family responsibilities. In fact, 85 percent of IU Northwest seniors also work while earning their degrees, and one-third of graduating seniors work over 30 hours per week. An estimated 70 percent of IU Northwest students receive financial aid, of which 49 percent receive some form of gift aid. Scholarship assistance helps the campus ensure that we continue to raise the bar of excellence in recruiting and retaining exceptional students, while also easing our students’ financial burden. The Northwest campus has redoubled its philanthropic efforts and commitment to transfer students and other degree completers with the Illiana Scholarship and the Transfer Student Scholarship. Faculty members at IU Northwest are leading experts in their fields, with 81 percent of full-time tenured and tenure track faculty having attained the highest degree available in their field. Professors bring personal attention (16:1 student to faculty ratio) and the resources of Indiana University to the classroom, as well as a passion for engaging students in valuable research and experiential learning opportunities. Approximately 28,000 IU Northwest alumni are making important professional contributions in fields ranging from business and law to health care and education. IU Northwest’s varsity athletic teams are members of the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA) Division II and, as part of that association, fields teams in women’s volleyball, men’s and women’s basketball, and men’s and women’s cross-country. IU Northwest also offers a variety of intramural athletics and club sports, including basketball, flag football, ice hockey, volleyball, softball, co-ed cheerleading and baseball. 1 Community engagement is the hallmark of the campus’s commitment to advancing educational opportunities while addressing regional priorities, and is an essential part of the IU Northwest educational mission and purpose. The campus’s collaborative engagement with the region supports sustainable progress, addresses greater opportunities for diversity, and provides a valuable context for the complete student experience. As one of Northwest Indiana’s anchors, IU Northwest has a public obligation to be a community resource. An estimated 2,100 students annually contribute more than 126,000 service hours, demonstrated through course work and projects that are integral to the academic experience and connect students with their communities. An important milestone was reached recently when the IU Board of Trustees approved the design of the new Arts & Sciences Building, in partnership with Ivy Tech Community College Northwest. The $45 million academic building, to be located on the IU Northwest campus at Broadway and 35th Avenue, demonstrates IU’s commitment to and investment in student academic success and Northwest Indiana. The new academic building will serve the educational needs of both IU Northwest and Ivy Tech-Northwest students, which will strengthen the partnership between the two institutions and enhance the transfer-student pathway. The building is anticipated to open in 2017. History IU Northwest has been a separately accredited campus of Indiana University since 1967; however, its history dates back to 1921 when IU offered its first extension classes in Lake County. Today’s campus in Gary’s Glen Park is a result of land acquisitions by IU beginning in 1955. The construction of Raintree Hall and the Moraine Student Center (1969), Hawthorn Hall (1976), the John W. Anderson Library/Conference Center (1980), Marram Hall (1991), the Savannah Center (2000), Cedar Hall (2000) and Dunes Medical/Professional Building (2006) constitutes the campus of today. Governance The IU Northwest campus values its tradition of shared governance. The Executive Vice Chancellor and other key administrators work closely with faculty and other campus constituents to ensure the governance system operates effectively. The new EVCAA will continue to foster a climate in which deliberation and decisions are inclusive and timely. IU Northwest is a regional campus of Indiana University. IU is a single university with eight campuses (of which two are shared with Purdue University: IU manages the Indianapolis campus and Purdue manages the Fort Wayne campus). IU is led by one president, Dr. Michael McRobbie, and a single Board of Trustees. Academic degrees are granted by the university, and the university establishes fundamental policies across all functional areas. In several areas, especially academics, IU has traditionally provided individual campuses with considerable flexibility in applying university priorities and policies to campus mission and regional setting. Responsiveness to the mission and region is a core strength of the IU regional campuses.

Of that total, $50.4 million was in direct impact and $55.3 million in indirect and induced impact. The study also showed that the total employment impact of IU Northwest is 1,277 jobs (638 direct jobs and 639 indirect and induced jobs). According to the report, IU Northwest generates $5.6 million per year in state and local tax revenue. The report also showed that IU Northwest faculty, staff and students contribute more than $6.5 million annually in charitable donations and volunteer service.

In 1967, the arrangement was expanded to include Purdue and Ball State universities and the extension became the Eastern Indiana Center of Earlham College. In 1969, reflecting the community’s response to this opportunity to take state university courses at home, Richmond citizens formed an association known as Eastern Indiana Community College, Inc., to raise funds for the construction of a new campus. Following a successful campaign in which they raised over $1 million, members of the community col- lege organization, with the consent of the four education institutions involved in the center, requested Indiana University to establish a regional campus in Richmond to assume responsibility for the operation. The Indiana General Assembly approved this plan, and on July 1, 1971, the East- ern Indiana Center for Earlham College became Indiana University East, the sixth campus in the Indiana University regional system.

  • We Are Writing to Express Our Concern And
    To Whom It May Concern: We are writing to express our concern and disappointment over the settlement entered into between the City of East Chicago and the Office of the Utility Consumer Counselor in Cause No. 44826. Under the terms of the settlement, an item providing for the use of Drinking Water State Revolving Fund (DWSRF) money to replace lead service lines was eliminated. As a result, we will be saddled with a 55% increase in our water bills, but may never be able to drink the water for which we are paying. The problem of lead contamination in East Chicago’s drinking water, recently brought to light by EPA’s independent testing,1 compounds the lead contamination in our yards, gardens and homes. The USS Lead Superfund site in East Chicago, which covers three East Chicago neighborhoods (West Calumet, Calumet, and East Calumet) is especially heavily affected by lead contamination. The neighborhoods in the USS Lead Superfund site, where many of us reside, are home to several thousand people. In addition to the ongoing evacuation of the West Calumet Housing Complex (formerly home to more than 1000 people), hundreds of homes in our neighborhoods exceed residential screening levels for lead in the soil and are awaiting EPA cleanup; dozens more have already been subject to emergency cleanup actions. Because lead exposure is cumulative, the public health impact of lead- contaminated drinking water is even greater in the Superfund site, where residents—especially children —are exposed to high levels of lead from other sources, than it would be elsewhere. Thus, the denial of funding for lead service line replacement is of particularly great concern for our communities.
