HHC Director of Extracurricular Activities Charlene Brown Receives IU Foundation Award

Brown has been director of extracurricular activities at the Hutton Honors College and the Wells Scholars Program since the late 1980s. She has also been associate director of the Wells Scholars Program since 1998. Brown was praised for "her ability to connect in a personal and inspiring way with students."

The award is named after the president and CEO of the IU Alumni Association who died in 2001. An IU graduate, Tardy is credited with helping to negotiate the contract for the Oscar-winning movie, Breaking Away, and for the IU license plate program that provides scholarships each year for children of Alumni Association members.
