Dear Friend of IU,
Former IU President Herman B Wells often spoke of the limitless potential of the human mind. Dr. Wells understood the essential role of higher education in nurturing this potential at a remarkable institution like IU Bloomington. He also understood that outstanding performance in higher education can be sustained only through demanding vigilance. Matching the Promise is an uncommon opportunity to build on Dr. Wells’s vision through the continuing generosity of IUB’s cherished alumni and friends.
Today, IU Bloomington combines the beauty and warmth of an historical, woodland campus with the breadth of a first-order research university. Our internationally known faculty members lead their fields. Their teaching and scholarship are recognized daily. Whether the honor is a Guggenheim Fellowship, membership in a prestigious academic society, or competitive research funding, IU Bloomington succeeds because of our faculty’s talent and dedication.
IUB offers dozens of nationally ranked academic programs and hundreds of study-abroad and internship opportunities. A leader in supporting student success, IUB stands second among the top 50 public universities in graduation rates. More than 2,000 companies — many of them on the Fortune 500 list — recruit annually on the Bloomington campus. These recruiters know that our graduates have the knowledge and aptitudes required in today’s global marketplace.
Throughout its 185-year history, private support has enabled IU Bloomington’s students and faculty to dream big dreams and make those dreams reality. Your renewed generosity will help tomorrow’s dreams become the highest expressions of intellectual and cultural endeavor.
After all is said and done, IU Bloomington opens doors of opportunity. Matching the Promise will hold them open for generations to come.
