Slide Presentation Highlighting 2013 Honorees

Recognizing Faculty Excellence at

IUPUIFaculty Retiree Luncheon

May 7, 2013

“Let us think of education as the means of developing our greatest

abilities, because in each of us there is a private hope and dream which,

fulfilled, can be translated into benefit for everyone and greater strength

of the nation.”

John F. Kennedy

IUPUI aspires to be one of the nation’s great urban

universities. We

value the commitment of students to learning; of faculty to the

highest standards of teaching, research, and engagement; and of

staff to the highest level of service. 

As members of the faculty—whether for many years or for a

shorter

time—you have dedicated your time and efforts to those high

standards and thus advanced IUPUI’s mission. As you enter

retirement, we pay tribute to your loyalty to your school and

contributions to our shared vision for excellence. 

Some of you will stay in our community. Others will join

other communities. But you are forever part of IUPUI. You have

helped to build a great university. And you have given to

generations of students the best legacy of all—the ability and

commitment to keep learning, which is the instrument of a

meaningful life. 

Together with all your IUPUI colleagues, I thank you for

your service. 

Charles R. Bantz

Chancellor of IUPUI

Today we honor and thank you for your many

contributions of expertise, dedication, time, and energy in

helping to develop this campus, advance knowledge and

practice in your disciplines, and educate successive cohorts

of leaders, scholars, and citizens.  Because of your efforts, 

IUPUI can indeed aspire to become a leading urban

research institution recognized for the success of our

students, our advances in health and life sciences, and our

intellectual, economic, and cultural contributions to the

well-being of the citizens of Indianapolis, the state of

Indiana, and beyond.

As you begin a new life chapter, be assured that those

who follow will do their best to realize all your hopes for

what IUPUI can become. We hope you will follow our

progress and support us in whatever ways you can. Thank

you again for your hard work, and please accept my best

wishes for a happy retirement.
