Recognizing Outstanding Alumni Leadership: The IUAA President’s Award
One of the privileges of my position is developing relationships with amazing volunteers that work hard for IU and the IU Alumni Association.

January 1 is a date we associate with a readiness to start anew. A fresh start on the year ahead. Big goals, big dreams. But, what if, a “new year, new you” isn’t the right approach to take? What have we learned about ourselves in 2017 that we can take and grow from? The fresh …
