Graphic with a blue and purple gradient background and a large white quotation mark icon. White text reads: “Today’s financial climate for business schools has become increasingly fraught, making it especially important not to leave potential funding on the table.

But once you get it going through initial small pushes, great things will continue to happen.” Below in smaller gold text: “– Brad Wheeler, Director of the Data Science and Artificial Intelligence Lab and Professor of Information Systems, Kelley School of Business, Indiana University, AACSB, The Keys to Unlocking Federal Research Funding.” The TVP Communications logo appears in the bottom right corner.

Graphic with a blue and purple gradient background and a large white quotation mark icon. White text reads: “On the football field, success is rarely about a single play or star athlete — even one as hardworking and talented as Hoosier quarterback Fernando Mendoza, Indiana’s first Heisman Trophy winner. Instead, it’s about daily preparation and accountability. The same is true in higher education. Institutions that succeed will be those that build cultures where vision is matched by follow-through, and where performance is measured consistently and accountability is embedded in daily practice.” Below in smaller gold text: “– Pamela Whitten, President of Indiana University, in The Washington Post: This playbook got Indiana to a Rose Bowl. It can improve college education.” The TVP Communications logo appears in the bottom right corner.
In today’s @washingtonpost.com, IU Pres Pamela Whitten outlined how higher ed can learn from the Hoosiers football team as they take the field for the Rose Bowl. In her op-ed, she argued that the current headwinds in higher ed aren’t insurmountable but require clear-eyed leadership to navigate.
