Chancellor Bantz Urges Campus Community to Contribute to United Way

“The work of the United Way is important. Whether supporting the people devastated by Katrina or supporting families in central Indiana—the United Way partners do important work. Work that makes Indiana and the USA a better place.

In Central Indiana we collaborate to solve problems and achieve. Whether it is creating IUPUI, building a stadium, enhancing education, or rejuvenating downtown—people here see a problem and join with others to solve it. That is the same model of the United Way—working together to support our community.

Finally, it is fair to support our community with our philanthropy. Here at IUPUI we ask others to support us—both with taxes and philanthropy. We could not be what we are today without the support of thousands of individual donors. It is only fair that we give back to our community to support others’ service.”
