Talbot, who earned bachelor's, master's and doctoral degrees in education from IU, is past president of the IU School of Education Alumni Association and the IU Alumni Association, and was founding director of HHE, a university advocacy organization. She has been special assistant for education to the governor and is a two-time recipient of the Sagamore of the Wabash designation, a special award bestowed by Hoosier governors.

IU has nine trustees, three of whom are elected by alumni. The other two alumni trustees are Cora Smith Breckenridge of Elkhart, who was first elected in 1997 and whose present term ends in 2006, and Jamie Belanger of Dayton, Ohio, who was elected in 2002 and whose term expires in 2005. The remaining trustees are appointed by the governor.
