Dean’s year-end message
2013-2014 academic year will build on significant accomplishments of past 12 months
In her year-end message, Dean Valerie Eickmeier noted that Herron continues to expand the school’s role as a leader in the visual arts in Indiana, across the country and throughout the world. Perhaps most notably, Herron marked the end of the IUPUI IMPACT Campaign on June 30. During the campaign, Herron exceeded its fund-raising goal by 133 percent, as community members rallied around the value of the visual arts with gifts and pledges totaling $11.4 million.
