00:00:03.000 --> 00:00:07.000
[Inspirational instrumental music playing]

00:00:16.266 --> 00:00:21.438
This is - this is a little like,
you know, who's your favorite child?

00:00:21.438 --> 00:00:23.523
Sure. Well, gosh, you're going to test me.

00:00:23.523 --> 00:00:27.193
Oh, my gosh. You know, it -

00:00:27.193 --> 00:00:29.070
Oh, my gosh, there's so many.

00:00:29.070 --> 00:00:29.529
I don't know

00:00:29.529 --> 00:00:32.574
that there's one in particular
because there's so many wonderful stories.

00:00:32.574 --> 00:00:34.242
They were all so fascinating.

00:00:34.242 --> 00:00:40.331
I was I was overwhelmed
with the creativity of the students

00:00:40.623 --> 00:00:44.169
from all of our campuses
to write these grants.

00:00:59.893 --> 00:01:04.167
[Amy Balcius:] One of the projects that sticks out
the most to me, it was called GoBabyGo

00:01:05.009 --> 00:01:10.695
GoBabyGo is a faculty
sponsored, student run organization.

00:01:10.695 --> 00:01:15.658
What we do is we modify off the shelf
power wheels for kids with disabilities

00:01:15.700 --> 00:01:19.829
anything that you could buy
at any local convenient box store

00:01:20.080 --> 00:01:25.085
and then modify it to make it something
that a kid with a physical disability

00:01:25.168 --> 00:01:28.588
can actually operate
as much on their own as possible.

00:01:28.630 --> 00:01:33.676
What stands out the most about 
GoBabyGo is not just the impact

00:01:33.676 --> 00:01:38.139
on the individual child,
but the impact on the family.

00:01:38.139 --> 00:01:39.974
Getting to see parents’ faces

00:01:39.974 --> 00:01:43.686
light up when their child does something
independently for the first time.

00:01:43.853 --> 00:01:45.647
It's like when your baby takes
their first steps.

00:01:45.647 --> 00:01:47.232
It's like when they're starting to crawl.

00:01:47.232 --> 00:01:49.317
We, over the course of the past

00:01:49.317 --> 00:01:53.071
ten years, have now delivered
120 cars to kids across Indiana.

00:01:55.031 --> 00:01:57.158
[Melissa Proffitt Schmidt:] A couple
that really just stand out in my mind.

00:01:57.158 --> 00:02:01.746
I remember that we granted money
to students in Rwanda

00:02:01.746 --> 00:02:05.625
to allow them to have 2000 different
eye exams and eyeglasses,

00:02:05.625 --> 00:02:08.628
so they couldn't study
because they couldn't see.

00:02:08.628 --> 00:02:10.797
Another, which I think is really important
with them -

00:02:10.797 --> 00:02:13.842
domestic violence victims - 
providing dental care.

00:02:13.883 --> 00:02:18.221
If you've ever lost a front tooth,
which I have, you cannot appreciate

00:02:18.221 --> 00:02:21.850
how important that makes
you feel about yourself.

00:02:26.896 --> 00:02:30.233
I was part of a team
that received some funding from NIH,

00:02:30.733 --> 00:02:34.404
and we were really curious about
what would happen if we were able

00:02:34.404 --> 00:02:35.947
to standardize overdose prevention

00:02:35.947 --> 00:02:39.826
training and see if that would increase
people's feeling more confident,

00:02:39.909 --> 00:02:44.873
ready and able to intervene and administer
naloxone. As part of that study,

00:02:44.873 --> 00:02:48.877
we developed the Citizen Opioid Responder
Online Naloxone Training Program.

00:02:48.918 --> 00:02:53.965
We found that, in fact, it did increase
people's feelings of self-efficacy

00:02:54.340 --> 00:02:57.510
and also increase the likelihood
that they would carry naloxone.

00:02:57.510 --> 00:03:03.099
So and then most recently, due
to the graciousness of the IU Foundation

00:03:03.099 --> 00:03:06.561
and the Women's
Philanthropy and Leadership Council,

00:03:06.853 --> 00:03:09.856
we were able to bring the core
training program to IU.

00:03:09.856 --> 00:03:11.274
We're going to be able to expand it

00:03:11.274 --> 00:03:14.277
to all of the
IU campuses in adjacent communities.

00:03:14.402 --> 00:03:15.403
Quite literally,

00:03:15.403 --> 00:03:20.033
this is a training program
that stands to help save lives.

00:03:20.325 --> 00:03:23.620
We couldn't have done this
without their help.

00:03:24.037 --> 00:03:25.914
[Alisa Hendrix:] One of the things that I've seen happen,

00:03:25.914 --> 00:03:28.833
which I really love, is the passion
giving.

00:03:28.833 --> 00:03:32.587
We'll have projects that come to the table
and the giving circle

00:03:32.587 --> 00:03:36.799
will fund part of it, and then women
will step up and fund the balance.

00:03:36.799 --> 00:03:40.011
If they haven't been able to fund it all
or fund, you know, if it's something like

00:03:40.011 --> 00:03:44.265
computers for an educational project,
they'll fund more of them.

00:03:44.515 --> 00:03:45.308
[Kay Booth:] There was one -

00:03:45.308 --> 00:03:49.938
it was a summer camp, and they couldn't
afford the costumes for the play.

00:03:50.355 --> 00:03:53.024
And so a bunch of women

00:03:53.024 --> 00:03:57.195
collectively gathered extra money together
in addition to the grant

00:03:57.195 --> 00:04:01.241
that was requested and donated to that,
the reports back to us

00:04:01.241 --> 00:04:04.994
were that the kids were thrilled to have
the costumes, and the play was great.

00:04:08.706 --> 00:04:12.460
The Glenn Close Costume 
Collection came to us in 2017.

00:04:12.460 --> 00:04:16.214
It's very serendipitous that it came to us
because she's not a graduate of IU.

00:04:16.214 --> 00:04:19.092
We found out that she was looking for
a home for our costumes.

00:04:19.092 --> 00:04:24.097
So we made a proposal and with the help
of the WPLC, it came to us in 2017.

00:04:24.097 --> 00:04:25.348
These pieces are in use.

00:04:25.348 --> 00:04:28.351
We have students coming and seeing them
all the time, notwithstanding

00:04:28.351 --> 00:04:31.604
the interest, you know, general
interest of the public as well.

00:04:31.604 --> 00:04:35.400
I mean, I think it's been
a great kind of jewel in the crown of IU

00:04:35.400 --> 00:04:38.403
to be able to have 
these wonderful costumes.

00:04:41.281 --> 00:04:44.742
Before I was a member of the WPLC,

00:04:44.742 --> 00:04:48.246
I actually - I founded the bank

00:04:48.246 --> 00:04:52.583
and we applied for a grant to fund

00:04:53.209 --> 00:04:56.296
one of our tissue collections.

00:04:56.296 --> 00:05:03.136
I was asked to give a talk
to a meeting of WPLC members.

00:05:03.136 --> 00:05:06.139
I remember walking in

00:05:06.306 --> 00:05:09.767
and immediately being struck

00:05:09.976 --> 00:05:15.815
by a room full of accomplished

00:05:16.190 --> 00:05:19.193
women who had a common goal.

00:05:19.277 --> 00:05:23.489
I really felt like
I had finally found a home.

00:05:23.698 --> 00:05:28.244
The KTB was started in 2007.

00:05:28.244 --> 00:05:34.334
It is -  was then - and still is, the world's
only tissue

00:05:34.334 --> 00:05:37.628
repository of breast tissue

00:05:37.628 --> 00:05:41.174
from women
that are not affected by the disease,

00:05:41.215 --> 00:05:45.428
and it now has samples
from upwards of 5500 women.

00:05:45.553 --> 00:05:49.057
We've actually received
two grants from the WPLC.

00:05:49.766 --> 00:05:52.060
Both of them put to very, very good use.

00:05:52.060 --> 00:05:56.064
Let me do the easier one, which is without

00:05:56.064 --> 00:05:59.484
an ultrasound machine,
we could not be biopsying men.

00:05:59.484 --> 00:06:05.198
Almost no research has been done in male
breast cancer.

00:06:05.198 --> 00:06:11.454
These samples from men without breast
cancer really are going to help.

00:06:11.454 --> 00:06:15.083
We are hoping to find signals

00:06:15.750 --> 00:06:23.049
that eventually can be 
signatures for risk.

00:06:23.466 --> 00:06:26.844
Any contribution to making that whole

00:06:26.844 --> 00:06:29.889
process happen is priceless.

00:06:33.518 --> 00:06:35.019
Our graduate students do

00:06:35.019 --> 00:06:38.106
two years with with our program,
and it's a 60 credit masters program.

00:06:38.106 --> 00:06:44.112
And on top of those 60 credits, they do
750 internship hours, clinical hours.

00:06:44.195 --> 00:06:47.615
A big part of being able
to take this program from inception

00:06:47.615 --> 00:06:49.033
to growth was funding.

00:06:49.033 --> 00:06:50.076
We needed to be able

00:06:50.076 --> 00:06:53.871
to have a way to support graduate students
who are coming back.

00:06:53.955 --> 00:06:56.416
We wouldn't have been able
to build internships without it,

00:06:56.416 --> 00:06:57.875
but it was foundational.

00:06:57.875 --> 00:06:58.751
It helped support

00:06:58.751 --> 00:07:01.963
two of our initial internships, right,
which was Riley Children's Hospital

00:07:02.296 --> 00:07:03.464
as well as Joy's house.

00:07:03.464 --> 00:07:06.384
We're serving a really, really significant
need.

00:07:06.384 --> 00:07:09.303
Indiana is ranked very, very low on

00:07:09.303 --> 00:07:12.849
accessibility and availability
of mental health services.

00:07:12.849 --> 00:07:16.936
In order for us to do good work, our
students have to be supported. 

00:07:16.936 --> 00:07:18.646
Funding first and foremost goes to students.

00:07:18.646 --> 00:07:20.690
It also then lets us begin
to think about the way

00:07:20.690 --> 00:07:24.277
that we disseminate research
about art therapy and what we're doing,

00:07:24.527 --> 00:07:27.822
why we're doing it,
how we're doing it, the ways in which

00:07:28.281 --> 00:07:30.074
our community partners
are really essential.

00:07:30.074 --> 00:07:31.784
[Kelly Richardson:] Thank you. Really thank you.

00:07:31.784 --> 00:07:34.996
[Sara Davis:] I think the biggest thing
is just to say a huge thank you, a huge

00:07:34.996 --> 00:07:38.833
thank you for believing in us
and for giving us the opportunity

00:07:38.833 --> 00:07:42.879
to create a program that has now become
much more sustainable as a result.

00:07:42.920 --> 00:07:45.923
[Eileen Misluk:] See, this is where I, I get teary because

00:07:45.923 --> 00:07:48.885
when I tell you, without our donors, we could not be here.

00:07:49.427 --> 00:07:53.347
We couldn't do the research that we're doing
with our communities and raising awareness

00:07:53.347 --> 00:07:57.643
and continuing to reach out to show people
the power of art therapy.

00:07:57.643 --> 00:08:02.315
[Laurie Burns McRobbie:] The future is really limitless
for this program.

00:08:02.315 --> 00:08:06.611
There's so much to do,
so many places to make impact.

00:08:06.611 --> 00:08:09.822
[Kay Booth:] I'm very excited
about the future of WPLC -

00:08:09.822 --> 00:08:13.326
It's got an incredible sustainable future,
and it's

00:08:13.326 --> 00:08:16.329
because of the incredible women

00:08:16.329 --> 00:08:19.916
that come together
that care so much to make a difference.

00:08:20.124 --> 00:08:23.127
[Dale Ellen Leff:] Women are giving to a meaningful cause.

00:08:23.503 --> 00:08:26.964
And that's
what women want to do, a meaningful cause

00:08:26.964 --> 00:08:30.676
where they, as I say, see value in it.

00:08:31.052 --> 00:08:35.097
They collaborate in it, and they celebrate
it, which is the end result.

00:08:35.097 --> 00:08:37.558
[Amy Balcius:] Women's
philanthropy at IU is for everybody.

00:08:37.558 --> 00:08:41.687
We're opening the door wider,
and we want more and more people

00:08:42.188 --> 00:08:45.733
who are also interested
in having a collective impact.

00:09:00.748 --> 00:09:03.793
The impact that we've had over the last
15 years, we're just getting started.
