On September 29, our annual award recipients will visit IU for a panel discussion and an informal reception, both of which are free and open to the public. From a past president of J.Crew to a renowned sociologist, this year’s honorees exemplify the breadth and depth of a liberal arts education and the many paths to success that it promises.

Can't make it to campus? We'll also be livestreaming the event, so if you can't make it in person, you can join us online for the discussion and audience Q&A.
