IU Fort Wayne Forward

Listening, learning and launching IUFW Forward

A campus and community listening tour

As your new vice chancellor and dean, I am committed to listening and leading based on the insight of our community. To begin this process, Indiana University will hold a series of listening sessions throughout the next several weeks.

During these sessions, I hope to gain a deeper understanding of our place in the community and region as we prioritize a plan to raise our profile and advance our mission. 

My goal is to hear from more than 250 students, faculty, staff, alumni, and partners. 

I plan to collect your input in three ways: 

  1. Holding a series of informal listening sessions
  2. Meeting with you and your organization
  3. Completing our online survey

Invite me to visit your organization

Do you have a group or organization that is interested in hosting a listening session at your next meeting? I would be delighted to speak about IU Fort Wayne and gather your thoughts and concerns.
