Description of the video:
[AUDIO:] Indianapolis, it's time!
[DESCRIPTION: Text onscreen: Indianapolis / it's time, with an image of a clock. Behind it is a drone video of Indianapolis in the daytime. Then a series of images: An instructor teaching in a classroom full of students on laptops, three people at a table in a classroom reviewing materials, a time-lapse sequence of a building being constructed on campus, a series of headlines from news stories cropping up on a background of newsprint, a bust of Abe Lincoln being 3D printed, scenes in a laboratory, a group meeting in a cafe talking about emergency Narcan doses, a computer screen detailing a cervical cancer model, officials walking and talking in the Indiana Statehouse.]

Time to build on over a century of leadership.
Time to invest in transformative research, encourage innovation, and increase opportunities.
Time to enhance collaboration, attract top talent, and make life-altering discoveries.
Time to embrace our future and expand our service to our state and beyond.
[DESCRIPTION: A series of images: A group of women stand in a line onstage in front of a curtain that reads "Dance Marathon," each holding up a number that collectively read $607,870.25, while confetti falls down on the audience in front of them. An American flag and an Indiana flag wave next to the Soldiers and Sailors monument in downtown Indianapolis. A computer screen displays programming code. A group of young women sit a table inside a building, next to large windows with a view of Indianapolis. Two men stand outside, wearing graduation caps and gowns, and one of them holds up their phone to snap a selfie.]
[AUDIO:]
Time to realize our vision to become one of the nation's leading urban research universities.
Time to empower each other and equip students for success.
[DESCRIPTION: Two young men wear life jackets and row a canoe during the annual Regatta on the canal in downtown Indianapolis. People stand and sit along the canal's edge, watching the race and cheering them on. Children approach a Jaguar mascot, and they clap their hands. A young man sits at a desk with a laptop, and a robot on the desk moves. A group of people stand on a field and play foursquare volleyball. Young adults walk past each other in a hallway; one young woman holds a laptop and a coffee cup. A young man stands in front of a camera, with a greenscreen behind him. A man in a lab coat from the IU School of Medicine faces the camera with men and women wearing lab coats standing behind him.]
[AUDIO:]
It's time for Indiana University Indianapolis.
A new era of impact begins today.
[DESCRIPTION: Text onscreen: Indiana University Indianapolis. Behind it is Indianapolis at night, with lights reflecting from the skyscrapers. Above the text, the Indianapolis University logo of a white trident inside a red box.]
