Our intentionwas to leverage historic strengths alongsideemerging areas—always leaving room for thethrill of discovery along the way—to createa vibrant, creative, and forward-thinkinginstitution with boundless potential for growth.In fashioning our plan, none of us couldhave imagined the extraordinary challengesthe COVID-19 pandemic would pose to ourlives and campus operations. Despite theall-encompassing nature of this trial, ourcommunity’s caring, conscientious, creative,and dogged response has left me awe-struck.In record time, we moved all our classes, ourlibraries, and most of our student servicesonline. We emptied our residence halls andpostponed or cancelled events. We fought forour students’ progress toward their degreesand used our valuable expertise to join theIndiana University BloomingtonBicentennial Strategic Plan 3
battle against this disease. The sheer amount of activity,adaptability, and positivity shown by the thousandsof dedicated professionals who populate our campusassures me that we will come out the other side of thispandemic stronger—and wiser—than ever before.The individuals who are inspiring us with their effortsnow are the same ones who have led, over the past fiveyears, to the glorious completion of the goals outlined inour Bicentennial Strategic Plan. This report, composedprior to the start of the pandemic, is a testament to theirefforts and astounding accomplishments. It serves asfurther assurance of what we, as a community, canachieve together and of the wonderful partnerships wecan nurture over time in pursuit of greater goals.Members of the IU community have been and continueto be part of conversations central to the health and wellbeing of our state, nation, and the world. We have globalgateway offices in Bangkok, Beijing, Delhi, Berlin, andMexico City that connect us with prospective students,alumni who are living and working overseas, and facultywho engage in multiple ways around the world throughresearch, teaching, and creative pursuits.And, while we are pervasively global, we are also moredeeply connected with our local communities than ever,partnering with fellow Hoosiers to help meet the region’smost pressing challenges and needs. Our IU Center forRural Engagement has launched more than 200 projectsin 30 Indiana counties, mobilized nearly 5,000 studentsto work with Hoosier communities, and engaged withmore than 8,000 residents in 43 communities. Our IUCorps service network, which matches our enterprisingstudents with community organizations most in need ofhelp, has counted 1 million student service hours fromJanuary 2019 to January 2020.The astonishing generosity of our donors led to thenaming of the Luddy School of Informatics, Computing,and Engineering; the Eskenazi School of Art,Architecture, and Design; the Hamilton Lugar Schoolof Global and International Studies; the O’Neill Schoolof Public and Environmental Affairs; and the EskenaziMuseum of Art, which also reopened to well-deservedfanfare—after two years of renovation—in Novemberof 2019.Our faculty have worked together creatively to form theJ. Irwin Miller Architecture Program, the Departmentof Intelligent Systems Engineering—which is IU’s first4Bicentennial Strategic PlanIndiana University Bloomingtonever engineering program—and the Integrated Programin the Environment. They’ve come together to createinterdisciplinary degrees, such as the Master of Sciencein Cybersecurity Risk Management and the CuratorshipMaster of Arts, and they have successfully engagedmajor issues like addiction and sustainability throughour Grand Challenges and Emerging Areas of Researchprograms.Five years ago, every one of the working groups involvedin the strategic planning effort wrote about our needto focus with renewed intentionality on inclusivity,tolerance, and diversity. We are a more diverse andaccessible community than ever before, and wehave doubled down on efforts to recruit and retainunderrepresented students and faculty. Our campus hasachieved steady minority enrollment growth, increasingfrom 20.1% in 2015 to 24.7% in 2019. Minority studentsnow constitute more than the state of Indiana’s minoritypopulation total of 24.2%.Indiana University stands at the pinnacle of leadingpublic research institutions in the U.S. We are one ofjust 63 U.S. members of the Association of AmericanUniversities. This puts us in elite company alongsideother institutions with top research funding and output,doctoral education and post-doctoral appointees, andundergraduate education. Our academic standing helpsfoster partnerships with Ivy Leagues and HBCUs,precollege STEM programs, international institutions,and graduate-level programs that lead to recruitment ofthe very best minds.Our campus plan and the larger Indiana Universityplan it complements continue to guide our campuscommitment to being a humane, creative, international,and vibrantly connected hub for passionate learning,powerful research, and authentic engagement in tacklingthe challenges of today.Lauren RobelExecutive Vice Presidentand Provost
