IUPUI University Library Opens IUPUI Philanthropy Display

INDIANAPOLIS - "IUPUI: A Study in Philanthropy, 1914-2001," is now on display in the Joseph and Matthew Payton Philanthropic Studies Library located in the IUPUI University Library. Using original materials housed in the collection of the IUPUI University Library Special Collections and Archives, the exhibit portrays the impact of philanthropy on the history of the IUPUI campus and its surrounding community. The display is available to the public through December 2001.

Philanthropy has shaped the IUPUI campus in many ways. Gifts of buildings, technology, educational resources, endowments, and research grants have had a positive effect for the campus, benefiting students, faculty and staff, as well as the citizens of central Indiana. The display images and text represent the range of gifts to IUPUI since the early years and identifies the individuals and organizations whose generosity have helped shape the face of the campus.

A second component of philanthropy at IUPUI reflected in the display is the service of students, faculty and staff given in return to the central Indiana community. As an urban university located in the heart of Indianapolis, the IUPUI community has had the unique opportunity to participate in a variety of activities and philanthropic efforts over the years that have been in response to the special needs of the larger community.

The Payton Philanthropic Studies Library display of "IUPUI: A Study in Philanthropy, 1914-2001," is located on Level Two of the IUPUI University Library and is accessible during regular library hours. For more information, contact the IUPUI University Library Special Collections and Archives at (317) 274-0464 or speccoll@iupui.edu.
