    A Cross-disciplinary Giant at the Crossroads of America
    (Indiana University, 2019) Silverman, Ross D.; Health Policy and Management, School of Public Health
    The state motto of Indiana is “Crossroads of America.” Like the state in which she spent more than a quarter of a century as a professor, the work of Eleanor Kinney—a brilliant, prescient scholar, generous teacher, and founder and long-time leader of the William S. and Christine S. Hall Center for Law and Health—came to be known for its intersections of law, medicine, health policy, public health, and human rights. My appreciation of Eleanor began as something tribal: like Eleanor, I, too, had a background in law and public health, and I was a graduate of Indiana University. Over more than two decades, while I was faculty at Southern Illinois University and then following my move to Indianapolis, Eleanor became a colleague, mentor, and regular source of inspiration. She left a tremendous impression on me; I can safely say, were it not for Eleanor’s influence on the field of health law, on my alma mater, and on me personally, I would not figuratively and literally, be where I am today. Two areas of Eleanor’s influence I feel most suited to highlighting in this special edition are her early leadership in Empirical Health Law and in discussing her professional contributions after retiring from Indiana University, especially her year as a visiting scholar at Southern Illinois University.

    TOBIAS CENTER FOR LEADERSHIP EXCELLENCE
    (Office of the Vice Chancellor for Research, 2010-04-09) Cochran, Philip L.; Madison, Carol A.; Flynn, E. James
    The Randall L. Tobias Center for Leadership Excellence was established in 2004. The vision is for it to become one of the top 3 or 4 internationally recognized Centers on Leadership Excellence. The Tobias Center is explicitly cross-disciplinary in its study of leadership and was created as a collaboration of the Kelley School of Business, the School of Public and Environmental Affairs (SPEA) and the School of Education and the Center on Philanthropy. The Tobias Center is an Indiana University center and is housed in the Kelley School in Indianapolis. The programs of the Center fall into three major areas: research, community outreach and education, and teaching. The poster will highlight each of the Center’s programs in each of the three areas. For Research, it will describe the Center’s Faculty Fellows, Doctoral Fellows and Leadership Laboratories. The Center’s community outreach and education programs include the Hoosier Fellows Program, the three lecture programs, and its annual conference. Teaching initiatives of the Tobias Center include the Urban Leadership Education Institute, the Undergraduate Leadership Academy and School of Medicine Leadership course.
