Welcome from the president
I am honored to serve as university president and delighted to welcome you to Indiana University – a leading public research university with a worldwide reputation for academic excellence and an unmatched commitment to student success, innovative research, and service to Indiana and the world.
IU is home to world-class business and public affairs schools, the world’s first school of philanthropy, the nation’s largest medical school and the country’s first school of informatics.
