Recognizing Faculty Excellence at IUPUI Faculty Retiree Luncheon May 7, 2013 “Let us think of education as the means of developing our greatest abilities, because in each of us there is a private hope and dream which, fulfilled, can be translated into benefit for everyone and greater strength of the nation.” John F. Kennedy IUPUI aspires to be one of the nation’s great urban universities. We value the commitment of students to learning; of faculty to the highest standards of teaching, research, and engagement; and of staff to the highest level of service. As members of the faculty—whether for many years or for a shorter time—you have dedicated your time and efforts to those high standards and thus advanced IUPUI’s mission. As you enter retirement, we pay tribute to your loyalty to your school and contributions to our shared vision for excellence. Some of you will stay in our community. Others will join other communities. But you are forever part of IUPUI. You have helped to build a great university. And you have given to generations of students the best legacy of all—the ability and commitment to keep learning, which is the instrument of a meaningful life. Together with all your IUPUI colleagues, I thank you for your service. Charles R. Bantz Chancellor of IUPUI Today we honor and thank you for your many contributions of expertise, dedication, time, and energy in helping to develop this campus, advance knowledge and practice in your disciplines, and educate successive cohorts of leaders, scholars, and citizens. Because of your efforts, IUPUI can indeed aspire to become a leading urban research institution recognized for the success of our students, our advances in health and life sciences, and our intellectual, economic, and cultural contributions to the wellbeing of the citizens of Indianapolis, the state of Indiana, and beyond. As you begin a new life chapter, be assured that those who follow will do their best to realize all your hopes for what IUPUI can become. We hope you will follow our progress and support us in whatever ways you can. Thank you again for your hard work, and please accept my best wishes for a happy retirement. Nasser H.
