Imagine a University

Gene Tempel
President
Indiana University Foundation

A university committed to making the world a better place: To my mind, it’s not a stretch of the imagination.

I believe IU is such a place. I see it when I look at the tremendous work of the IU Student Foundation. Whether raising money for working student scholarships or engaging student leaders in shaping their own philanthropic initiatives, the IUSF is one of the many faces of student generosity at IU.

Across IU’s eight campuses, students come together over causes they care about. They volunteer in their communities. They organize and participate in fundraising events. They advocate for issues they are passionate about. They join alumni and former students whose generosity has become a key part of their lives. In this issue of Imagine, we touch on some of the varied ways IU students are giving back to the world.

I invite you to join these students. When you support IU as a member of our donor recognition societies, you are improving the world. You are supporting students while they improve themselves, so they can go forth and shape our society. You are supporting faculty members whose research will inform our future. You are supporting IU’s mission.

Find a society that you want to join. And imagine helping IU make the world a better place.
