IU Traditions: A Fireside Chat with
University Chancellor Kenneth R.R. Gros Louis

March 30, 2009

In celebration of Founders Day, students had the opportunity to learn more about IU's traditions and culture at this informal program with University Chancellor Kenneth R.R. Gros Louis. The chancellor has been at IU since 1964, when he was hired as a professor of English and comparative literature. He has since served as chief executive of the Bloomington campus, senior vice president for academic affairs, Bloomington chancellor, and his current role of university chancellor. At this program, students took a "pop quiz" on IU traditions devised by the chancellor and then had the opportunity to hear his stories and ask him questions about the campus.
