| As is the tradition every spring, Indiana University will recognize outstanding faculty members and honor students on Founders Day, Sunday, March 9, at 1 p.m. at Assembly Hall in Bloomington. Gerald Bepko, interim president of IU, will preside over the ceremony.
Sixteen faculty and four associate instructors from the IU campuses of Bloomington, IUPUI, Northwest, South Bend and Southeast will receive awards in the areas of teaching, service and research.
IU Bloomington students’ academic achievements will also be honored.
IU’s roots extend back to 1816, when a provision “for a general system of education, ascending in a regular gradation from township school to a state university” was written into the first Indiana state constitution. The Indiana State Seminary, established in 1820, became today’s IU through the visionary work of its presidents—Andrew Wylie, David Starr Jordan, William Lowe Bryan and Herman B Wells.
