    Community Engagement: Evaluation of the JPMorgan Chase Foundation - IUPUI Near Eastside Legacy Initiative
    (2014-04-11) Garcia, Silvia; Bennett, Teresa; Fitzpatrick, Christine
    In early 2011, the IUPUI Solution Center received a $75,000, two-year grant from the JPMorgan Chase Foundation to facilitate faculty and student involvement in the Near Eastside of Indianapolis to promote community health and wellness. The project emerged from the community’s stated need to increase efforts that improve the overall health and fitness and provide affordable access to fitness, wellness, educational opportunities and health-related resources to residents of the Near Eastside. A comprehensive assessment to measure the program efficacy, cost-effectiveness and impact yielded that the JPMorgan Chase Foundation – IUPUI Near Eastside Legacy Initiative (CHASE/NELI) increased awareness of and activity in the Chase Near Eastside Legacy Center and promoted health and wellness, through targeted communication and public health awareness strategies.

    Faculty Talent Development Effort: Mentoring Academy
    (Office of the Executive Vice Chancellor, IUPUI., 2014-04-24) Williamson, Gail; Lavitt, Melissa; Welch, Julie; Grove, Kathy; Lees, N. Douglas; Upton, Thomas; Carpenter, Janet
    IUPUI’s Strategic Plan, “Our Commitment to Indiana and Beyond,” places faculty and staff talent development among its highest priorities. The goal is to position IUPUI as an “employer of choice” through a number of actions, including improved workplace culture and communication and more robust developmental opportunities across all categories of faculty and staff. Based on feedback received during the strategic planning process, the completed implementation plan will articulate career paths for staff and faculty, identify and inventory a variety of campus resources, and provide relevant professional development opportunities. In addition, policies and procedures will be created to foster work/life balance and flexibility for IUPUI’s entire workforce. In order for IUPUI to reach the level of excellence expected in the plan, we must be assured that our investment in faculty will lead to greater success and productivity. The Mentoring Academy goals and objectives outlined below provide a means to engage faculty within each school and create a pathway for achievement of successful mentoring.

    Forging a New DEI-Focused Track for Librarian Promotion and Tenure
    (2023-03-16) Stone, Sean; Little, Lee; Pieczko, Brandon T.
    A large, four-year institution recently approved an official promotion and tenure track for faculty focusing on diversity, equity, and inclusion. All schools and academic units were tasked with developing new promotion and tenure standards in accordance with campus mandates and requirements but tailored to address the needs of specific disciplines and academic units. There were two main goals for this new track: 1) to formally recognize professional diversity, equity, and inclusion activities as a path for promotion and tenure with a focus on the professional narrative and incorporating new measures of success and impact including greater emphasis on community engagement, and 2) to develop a more holistic approach to reporting professional activities and achievements by uncoupling them, as much as possible, from the standard system of “binned” categories such as research, service, and performance). This poster outlines the work of a group of faculty librarians in developing these standards for librarian promotion and tenure. An ad hoc group of faculty librarians was formed by the campus Librarian Faculty Council with representatives from all the libraries on campus. Committee members came from many different points in the promotion and tenure process; from early career, pre-tenure librarians to those that had completely been through the process and even served on promotion and tenure groups and committees. The group went through several cycles of development of DEI promotion and tenure standards based on campus level documents and feedback from representatives to other DEI-focused campus groups, and of course, other faculty librarians. While the work was done with extensive input from various stakeholders at various levels, there was no finished archetype on which to base the final document. Additionally, campus level standards and expectations continued to develop and change throughout the process meaning the group was aiming for a moving target. Another major challenge was producing standards that were less prescribed and holistic to allow for greater freedom in the construction of candidates’ professional narratives; the recognition of DEI-focused professional activities; and the inclusion of novel metrics for demonstrating impact while still providing ample guidance and examples so that candidates would have enough guidance without feeling constrained. It was also critical for the librarian standards to match standards mandated at the campus level (often grounded in more traditional metrics and categories) while at the same time being more inclusive of DEI activities without giving DEI-track candidates the feeling that they were actually doing more work than other candidates presenting more traditional cases for promotion and tenure. It was also important to the committee to create a document that would be as easy as possible for mentors, reviewers, and members of the various promotion and tenure committees to use for guiding and evaluating candidates. The new standards were approved by library faculty in spring of 2022 and the first candidates for third-year reviews and promotion and tenure will begin utilizing them to construct their dossiers and narratives.

    A history of the Ronald McDonald House of Indiana, 1980-2004
    (2012) Mize, Christopher S.; Scarpino, Philip V.; Dichtl, John R., 1965-; Morgan, Anita A.
    On October 18, 1982, the Ronald McDonald House of Indiana (RMHI) opened near downtown Indianapolis on the campus of Indiana University Purdue University at Indianapolis (IUPUI), located within walking distance of the prestigious Riley Children's Hospital. The Ronald McDonald House (RMH) concept represented an almost perfect intersection between philanthropy and families in need. Creating the RMHI offered the opportunity for individuals, corporations, and benevolent organizations to come together and build a "home-away-from-home" for the families of sick children. When the RMH idea arrived in Indianapolis in the late 1970s, a group of collaborators representing the McDonald's corporation and restaurant owners, Riley Hospital, IUPUI, and the Indianapolis community banded together to make it a reality. On October 18, 1982, after nearly three years planning, fundraising, and construction, the RMHI's advocates and their supporters celebrated the successful opening of Indiana's only RMH. After this momentous occasion, the RMHI's board of directors and their community and corporate partners worked throughout the 1980s and 1990s to sustain, operate, and expand the home they created for the families of seriously ill children receiving treatment at Riley.

    "Imag-ing Our Foremothers": Art as a Means of Promoting Information Literacy
    (H.W. Wilson Company, 2007) Palmer, Kristi L.
    In February 2005, a group of twenty IUPUI history students gathered in the lounge of University Library to paint a semester’s worth of research. The 4’ x 6’ mural that graces the walls of the 2nd floor corridor of the IUPUI Business/SPEA building is the final product of a multi-faceted research project rooted in librarian-taught information literacy skills. During a year long workshop for librarians interested in becoming more dynamically involved with learners’ acquisition, application, and retention of information literacy skills, an art related experience entitled Imag-ing Our Foremothers: Art as a Means of Connecting with Women’s History was conceived. The project had four major goals and two distinct components.
