Description
To celebrate its 50th anniversary, Faces and Places of IUPUI: Fifty Years in Indianapolis presents the story of the Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis campus in a new and unique way. With a focus on the "Fifty Faces of IUPUI," a select group of students, faculty, staff, alumni, and community members chosen by the campus, readers will learn how the campus developed out of the Indiana University School of Medicine in 1903 to become Indiana's premier urban public research university.
From remarkable figures from the past such as Joseph T. Taylor, who grew up in the Jim Crow South and later became the Founding Dean of the School of Liberal Arts at IUPUI, to current undergraduates from a multitude of backgrounds and studying a range of disciplines, Faces and Places of IUPUI recounts the fascinating people who help make IUPUI a national and international leader in education and research. Using a combination of archival and contemporary photography, Faces and Places of IUPUI captures these stories and weaves them together to represent the university's evolution.
By adopting strength-based educational discourse, contributors to Education Transformation in Muslim Societies reveal how critical the whole-person approach is when enriching the brain and the spirit and instilling hope back into the teaching and learning spaces of many Muslim societies and communities.

"This volume beautifully illustrates IUPUI's many accomplishments in its first 50 years, from its beginnings rooted in extension programs and the IU School of Medicine at the turn of the 20th century through its evolution into one of one of the nation's premier urban research campuses. It also shines a spotlight on the people who made this innovative and engaged institution a reality in the thriving heart of Indianapolis."-Michael A. McRobbie, President of Indiana University"As an IUPUI alum, I take great personal pride in the stories on these pages. As the mayor of Indianapolis, I am profoundly grateful for the remarkable contributions that each of these incredible people have made to our city and our state through their continued commitment to community service and engagement."-Joe Hogsett, Indianapolis Mayor, IUPUI Alum
"Faces and Places of IUPUI is a wonderful testament to the transformational and far-reaching impact that higher education has not only on students and faculty, but on our society as a whole. As a trustee of Indiana University, I deeply appreciate the vision and leadership of these featured Faces of IUPUI as well as so many others whose work is carrying this remarkable campus boldly into its second half century."-MaryEllen Bishop, Indiana University Trustee and chair of the IUPUI Board of Advisors
"What an honor to be among this stellar group of Jaguars, representing the unique and dynamic culture of IUPUI.
