Please join me for my annual State of the Campus address on Tuesday, November 1, 2011, at 4 p.m. in the IUPUI Campus Center, Room 450A. It will take place right after the IUPUI Faculty Council meeting, which begins at 3 p.m. and adjourns for a brief break just before my presentation. We have much progress to celebrate this year, and I look forward to telling you about it.

My particular focus this year will be on faculty and staff contributions to the IUPUI IMPACT Campaign. Many scholarships, professorships, and other awards honor or memorialize former deans and faculty members. Their devotion to their work inspires donors to provide a legacy in their name. Some faculty and staff have memorialized students or family members with their gifts. They make personal gifts—small and large—whether by payroll deductions to the annual campaign or planned gifts—to honor the life and accomplishments of those who have served as beacons of inspiration to them.

IUPUI historically has had the highest employee participation in campaigns, and I think you will enjoy hearing about some of our faculty and staff who have found truly inspiring ways to leave a legacy and make an impact on the future.
