Hound Chat: Let’s Tell the Whole Story – Dr. Michael Cartwright, vice president for university mission
Noon
Join Michael Cartwright for a conversation to remember a person who was hailed by former President Gene Sease as “ICU’s Goodwill Ambassador to Africa. Mrs. Florabelle Wilson was the KML Head Librarian and the first African-American woman to serve as director of an academic library in the state of Indiana (and possibly in the Midwest). She was also a member of the ICU class of 1949 and retired from the university in 1982. Many alumni remember her with well-earned respect for her dedicated service to the university from 1957 to 1982, but those more recent Greyhounds may never have heard of this remarkable campus leader who was an advocate for diversity, equity and inclusion (on and off-campus) at a time when that wasn’t the institutional focus that it is in the 21st century.
Annual Celebration of Flags Ceremony
2:00 p.m.
Join the UIndy community for the annual Celebration of Flags Ceremony. This program honors our global and diverse campus community by recognizing the home countries of our current students, faculty, and staff.
