SPOTLIGHTING IU SUCCESS

IU students in Ghana

Cultures up close

Summer break is an ideal time for IU students to explore the world—and get credit for it. More than 30 students spent the early part of the summer exploring Ghana and the Dominican Republic as part of the Office of the Vice President for Diversity, Equity, and Multicultural Affairs’ Overseas Study program. Students in Ghana focused on the causes and effects of the transatlantic slave trade, while students in the Dominican Republic examined issues of racial identity and social struggles.

Road to Rio

Maybe you’ve heard: IU is an Olympic powerhouse. Since 1904, IU athletes have earned medals during every single Olympic games except for one. And the legacy continues. 15 IU athletes—11 from IU’s swimming and diving program alone—will compete in the 2016 Summer Olympic Games in Rio. Even though it’s been 40 years since an IU swimmer has been a part of Team USA, three Hoosiers made the team this year.

Greenhouse visitors photograph Wally the corpse flower

Bloomington loves Wally

IU’s corpse flower named Wally, scientifically named Amorphophallus titanum, is one famous plant. About 5,000 people came to witness—and smell—the six-foot flower unfurl in the Jordan Hall Greenhouse. IU gardener John Leichter reported meeting several “flower groupies” who said they had traveled from New York City. The wait to visit the plant climbed to 90 minutes, with a line snaking through the greenhouse and into the main academic building.
