BLOOMINGTON, Ind. – Indiana University President Pamela Whitten and IU Foundation President J T. Forbes recognized two individuals and two families as 2022 Partners in Philanthropy during a June 2 ceremony. These leaders’ service and contributions have helped shape the university’s future in lasting ways.
“Generous philanthropic support and dedicated volunteer service are enormously important to the success of our nation’s colleges and universities,” Whitten said. “Through the Partners in Philanthropy Awards, Indiana University is proud to honor some of IU’s most dedicated advocates, supporters and volunteers who have helped transform the face of the university. On behalf of IU, I extend our deep and enduring gratitude to all of them.”
Honorees received one of three awards: the Cornerstone Award, Keystone Award or Family Legacy Award. Each year, nominations are solicited from all IU campuses. A committee of representatives from IUPUI, IU Bloomington and regional campuses selects the award recipients.
“This year’s honorees share an exemplary dedication to the vision of Indiana University as a place of discovery, learning, creative expression and growth,” Forbes said. “Their generous giving and service have helped IU advance knowledge and transform lives for generations to come.”
