What can you do with a law degree? Kelley School of Business Professor David Greene knows. He helps teach a class called “The Legal Profession.” It gives aspiring lawyers at the Maurer School of Law ideas about careers open to them. David and his wife, Barbara Bealer, know how to encourage lawyers, too. They have created a scholarship at Maurer. He’s an alumnus and Barbara was the first woman partner at PricewaterhouseCoopers.
Charles Neatrour spent his career educating math teachers. He wrote widely on the subject and on how to make math more meaningful to students. His mentor, the late IU Professor Maurice McGlasson, wrote about middle school education. So it’s no surprise that Neatrour created the Neatrour-McGlasson Fellowships in the IU School of Education. Neatrour chose to continue his life’s work by providing fellowships for post baccalaureate pre-service middle school teachers seeking a license in math or science.
A longtime professor at the Kelley School of Business, John D. Donnell never lost his passion for business law. Now professor emeritus, the former chair of the department has created the John Donnell Fund for Business Law. The endowment helps the department continue educating, researching, and furthering the field of business law as he did. That’s more than a generous gift. It’s wise leadership.
A scholarship or fellowship to the School of Public and Environmental Affairs touches so much. SPEA graduates have careers that span government, private companies, and nonprofits. It’s unique training for complex futures. It’s so special that the school—ranked second in the nation—is in competition with Harvard University for the most talented students. Scholarships and fellowships go a long way to keeping students from heading east. For more information, contact Randy Rogers.
Want to decrease health care costs? Well, there are lots of ideas being bandied about. But here’s a smart one: Give to the School of Health, Physical Education and Recreation. Graduates from HPER go into wellness, whether as trainers, P.E. instructors, or nutritionists. And research at the school looks into such issues as childhood obesity and preventive medicine. A scholarship or support for research at HPER is a healthy choice for a healthier future. For more information, contact Andy Canada.
Indiana University began in 1820. It has a rich history in academics, athletics, research achievements, and so much more. The university archives are the treasure trove that informs the future by preserving the past. An anonymous donor saw its value and gave to the IU Libraries to support the archive’s mission, but more help is needed. A gift to the Office of University Archives and Records Management strengthens IU’s deep roots. For more information, contact Susan Yoon. ![]()
