Message from Vice President
James C. Wimbush
I am so proud of the work we have done this past year with our first—and hopefully last—fully online school year. We have experienced a variety of new challenges that our students, staff, and faculty masterfully overcame with the determination and spirit IU is known for. As we transition into our summer semester and prepare to come back to campus in fall 2021, it is important to look back and remember all the incredible milestones IU has achieved.

From the completion of the final stage of our Anti-Racist Agenda to the introduction of a new Indiana University president, the work the university has done over this past year will undoubtedly leave a lasting impression on many for years to come.
As we move into the future, I am excited to continue sharing the incredible accomplishments and strides Indiana University continues to make in creating a diverse and inclusive environment for us all.
Sincerely,
James Wimbush
