Herbert to discuss state of the university
BLOOMINGTON, Ind. -- Indiana University President Adam W. Herbert will deliver his first State of the University address on Tuesday (Sept. 14) at 2:30 p.m. in the Frangipani Room of the Indiana Memorial Union on the IU Bloomington campus.
In the address, Herbert, who became IU's 17th president in August 2003, is expected to outline ways the university is "Strengthening the Foundations for Distinction" and to discuss the political and economic environment that will shape the near-term future of the institution.
He also is expected to provide an update on the initiatives outlined in his inaugural address in April. Those initiatives include clarifying the mission of each IU campus and the university as a whole and expanding the university's research enterprise, particularly in the life sciences and in the arts and humanities.
