Mini University: An IU tradition expands its offerings, audience
Each June, the Indiana Memorial Union on IU's Bloomington campus bursts with life as excited students greet old friends, meet new friends, and get out their notebooks and pens, ready to delve into summer classes. But most of these nearly 500 students finished their formal educations long ago. In fact, many are retired and have grown kids -- and grandkids -- of their own. They flock to Bloomington for "Mini University," a week-long opportunity to take up to 15 different IU courses (from a roster of about 100) with some of IU's top professors on topics ranging from sustainability to globalization, taking place in the classroom and outside in nature or one of IU's libraries or museums. Now entering its 38th year (2009), Mini University has been named one of America's Nine Best Learning Vacations by Frommer's Budget Travel Magazine.

A picture of Joie Ray sitting in the cockpit of a race car with a beaming smile dominates the cover of IUPUI Professor Patrick Sullivan's new book about the racing pioneer. But it's hardly by chance that hovering behind Ray is a picture of his father, Joseph Ray Sr. After all, it was the accomplishments by both of these African Americans -- one in racing and the other as a business and community leader in Louisville, Ky. -- that led Sullivan, a professor at the Indiana University School of Social Work, to write a book.
