Jones Medal Awarded to Several Indiana State Employees
|
|
Vice President for University Engagement, Dr. Nancy Rogers, and Executive Director of Alumni Engagement, Rex Kendall among recipients.
|
 Some colleagues and community members deserve a medal for their dedication to Indiana State University. And that's just what President Dan Bradley and First Lady Cheri Bradley presented them with on Thursday, Dec. 7.
Bradley, who retired on Jan. 3, awarded the William Albert Jones Medal to more than three dozen people in recognition of their outstanding service, exemplary advice and counsel to his presidency.
"The Jones Medal is one of ISU's most important gifts to departing presidents. It allows Cheri and I to show our admiration and appreciation to some of the people who have been important to our personal and professional lives," Bradley said.
Created by President Richard Landini in 1992 in conjunction with his retirement, the award is named after the first president of the Indiana State Normal School. Each president since Landini has continued the tradition of recognizing individuals with this award either during their presidency or upon their retirement.

Nearly 900 Sycamores participated in the ceremony, held December 15.
|
Indiana State University sent the Class of 2017 into the world with parting
 words from fellow Sycamores at the winter commencement ceremony on Saturday, Dec. 16.
There were 906 Indiana State students who applied to graduate, of which 386 undergraduates and 198 graduates signed up t o participate in the commencement ceremony at Hulman Center.
Student speaker and political science major Shayla Bozdech of Effingham, Ill., offered her fellow graduates a message about sacrifices.
 "Look at the world in which we live. There are many circumstances around us that might cause us to become disheartened and feel defeated. There are old problems in our world that have come back into light, and new problems that we, as the next generation of world leaders, are tasked with solving," she said. "These problems, they won't be solved by thousands of people choosing to simply follow their dreams. That's not how you got here today, is it? Your dream may have been to go to college, but when you look up in the audience and find the people in your support system, you can realize that you are not the product of a thousand dreams. You are the product of a thousand sacrifices."

Trustees Elevate 'Honors Program'
to Honors College
|
The Indiana State University Board of Trustees voted Friday, Dec.15 to transition the existing University Honors Program to an Honors College, effective immediately.
In the past 10 years, State's Honors Program has grown and evolved into be a large, robust student body and curriculum, with active student participation and a strong recruitment tool for high-achieving students.
"I am very happy about the establishment of the Honors College at Indiana State University," said Mike Licari, provost and vice president for academic affairs at State. "The current program, under the excellent leadership of Dr. Greg Bierly, has grown in student participation and has increased the academic resources available to honors students."
The structure and institutional commitment signified by a college-level unit in Honors should further increase the university's profile for recruitment of high-achieving students.

Mark Roman attended Indiana State during the university's golden age of athletics. It was during his junior year when the Sycamore basketball team was led by legend Larry Bird, and made it to the finals of the NCAA Basketball Tournament in 1979.
"That was an amazing run by Indiana State, and a very exciting time for our university and the city of Terre Haute," said Roman, who still is a big fan of Sycamore athletics and a current season ticket holder for men's basketball.
Both Roman and his wife, Cyndi, graduated in 1980. He credits his experiences at State and relationships made for his life's successes. Roman's major was secondary education /vocational education.

Transforming Health Education
|
An energy-efficient building that ensures high-quality learning and engaged collaboration is achieved with the new, highly functional Health and Human Services Building.
|
Marcee Everly can attest to the transformation of Indiana State's campus during her past decade on the nursing faculty. But the change she most anticipated was unveiled in December with the opening of the new Health and Human Services building.
 Indiana State hosted a ribbon cutting at the $64 million expansion and renovation of the Health and Human Services building - the largest state-funded project in the university's history.
"We had simply outgrown the nursing building, but a lot of people weren't sure if they would see the day that we would get a new facility," said Everly, chair of the baccalaureate nursing department. "I'm glad I'm here to see it open."
In July 2016, the university broke ground on the silver LEED-certified project, which includes major upgrades to improve temperature control and air quality in the building as well as technology improvements. Interior space reconfiguration will enable academic programs to function more efficiently and an 87,000-square-foot expansion will house new and existing academic programs.
