Dear Colleagues,
Thanks to all who joined us for Coffee with the Chancellor last week. Highlights included a new effort to collect alumni outcome data, the results of a recent athletics review, the FY25 budget, and Fall 2024 enrollment. We have had an active summer on campus so far. In addition to summer classes, we’ve been offering several youth programs, from Kids College and Titan Cadets to a day of STEM with StarBase and a K-12 STEM Summer Academy through the LIFT grant! Below are a few opportunities and upcoming events I wanted to spotlight this month.
Regional Campus Faculty Fellow
Incoming Vice President Ken Iwama is in the process of hiring a to work with him this coming year. An initial review of applications will start on July 10th. The anticipated start date for the Faculty Fellow is August 1st. The Fellow will support initiatives related to collaboration across regional campuses.
IU Night with the South Bend Cubs
Cheer on the South Bend Cubs with IU alumni, fans, and friends at Four Winds Field on Thursday, August 8. by end-of-day on Sunday, July 28 to reserve your seats! Proceeds will be directed toward the IUSB Alumni Association Scholarship Endowment Fund.
Welcome Back
As is tradition, the Welcome Back for Faculty and Staff will take place on the morning of Monday, August 19. It will start with a social coffee hour at 9:00 am in the foyer area outside the Campus Auditorium in Northside Hall and my remarks will begin at 10:00 am. Additionally, New Student Convocation and the All-Campus Lunch will be held on Friday, August 23. Look for more details in the Daily Titan.
I hope you enjoy the upcoming holiday with family and friends and stay cool out there!
With Hoosier Spirit and Titan Pride,
