IU Indianapolis faculty and staff are encouraged to honor the hard work and dedication of colleagues by nominating deserving candidates for a faculty or staff award.

“Submitting an award nomination is an easy and meaningful way to recognize the many people across our campus who go above and beyond the call of duty in support of students, peers and the community,” said Heather Staggs, president of the IU Indianapolis staff council.
