This was developed by the Office for Women and University Library as a permanent online archive to highlight and celebrate the significant contributions to building and sustaining our campus by women faculty, staff, students, alumnae or community members. Funding support for the project was provided by the Office of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion. It features the biographies of over 100 women who have made significant contributions to the growth and development of IU Indianapolis since 1969 and features photos from the Ruth Lilly Special Collections and Archives. Additional information on the “founding mothers” who helped build the institutions that preceded IU Indianapolis has been added as well as other information about efforts to advance women in our community. In January 2012, the online exhibit was adapted to a multi-media exhibit which was shown in the Cultural Arts Gallery in the Campus Center. The archive is updated annually.
