Signature Center Proposals Pour In

INDIANAPOLIS – Sixty-eight proposals to create signature centers at IUPUI have been submitted, exceeding expectations, says Uday Sukhatme, IUPUI Executive Vice Chancellor and Dean of the Faculties.

“I had figured on getting about 30 or 40 if there was interest,” he noted. “It is wonderful to see the extremely high level of faculty enthusiasm in enhancing IUPUI’s research profile.”

After review by several faculty committees, funding decisions will be made early next semester.

Uday has said the centers will be the “shining centerpiece” of IUPUI’s academic plan.
