Dear Friends and Supporters,
I am delighted to welcome you to the 2024 issue of the magazine for the University of Indianapolis. “Why a magazine, especially a printed one?” you might ask. In a digital world where stories are produced and transmitted in a near continuous fashion and consumed and discarded just as quickly, a printed magazine might seem like an attempt to go back in time. Well, in a world where form often seems to conquer substance, we want to refocus on substance by strategically documenting and celebrating the transformative power of a UIndy education. We hope that as you read these stories, they will help reaffirm the impact a UIndy education has on the personal and professional lives of countless Greyhounds and the communities where they live, work, and play. I also hope that these stories will inspire you. The University of Indianapolis is not merely joining crucial conversations about the power of higher education in shaping a strong future, but is also at the forefront of leading the change. You will see how we are innovating to deliver relevant and impactful programs, and partner with learners across all walks of life—anywhere, anytime, and for life. The stories feature our students who are excelling academically and engaging with the world around them to prepare for a future that will demand more of them. Through applied and experiential learning, they are gaining the skills and perspectives to solve complex problems facing the world and preparing to thrive in today’s interconnected and
interdependent global society. These stories reflect the essence of UIndy’s commitment to preparing students for lives of purpose and impact. The magazine also shares inspirational stories of UIndy’s alumni who embody our values as reflected in their contributions to their professions and communities. Their stories of leadership, service, and innovation inspire us all as we continue to ensure that education remains relevant, accessible and impactful for generations to come. One of the many reasons we are relaunching the magazine is to share these stories with more than 35,000 readers that include alumni, friends, supporters, and business and community leaders. I hope that these stories bring back a memory or two for our readers, and encourages you to join us in making new ones. I invite you to stay connected and engaged with UIndy. Your involvement—whether through mentorship, partnerships, and/ or philanthropy—plays a critical role in shaping the future of our university and I look forward to writing the story of our future together.
Warm regards,
Dr. Tanuja Singh President, University of Indianapolis
