For the first time in IU history, the comprehensive Never Daunted campaign focuses on both giving and engagement. At its core, philanthropy at IU is grounded in making a difference in people’s lives through giving time, talent, treasure and testimony in service of a better world.
While scholarships are a top priority, the Never Daunted campaign is also about shining a light on the full scope of IU’s impact: expanding opportunities to help students find their path, fueling life-changing innovation that advances discovery, and strengthening communities across Indiana and beyond.
At Herron School of Art and Design, priorities have been identified that align with IU’s Strategic Plan 2030. These priorities will directly benefit Herron’s students, faculty, alumni and friends of the community as we create a more dynamic society and add to the creative economy of our state and beyond. Priorities include:
- Student Success and Opportunity
- Scholarships, fellowships, internships, high impact practices
- Professional development for students
- Transformative Research and Creativity
- Faculty support funds and awards
- Endowed professorships and chairs
- Specific program support
- Service to Our State and Beyond - Sustaining Outreach Programs
- Herron Galleries: Where Contemporary Happens!
- Basile Center for Art, Design and Public Life
- Community Learning Programs for youth and adults
