Description of the video:
[AUDIO:] Indianapolis, it's time!
[DESCRIPTION: Text onscreen: Indianapolis / it's time, with an image of a clock. Behind it is a drone video of Indianapolis in the daytime. Then a series of images: An instructor teaching in a classroom full of students on laptops, three people at a table in a classroom reviewing materials, a time-lapse sequence of a building being constructed on campus, a series of headlines from news stories cropping up on a background of newsprint, a bust of Abe Lincoln being 3D printed, scenes in a laboratory, a group meeting in a cafe talking about emergency Narcan doses, a computer screen detailing a cervical cancer model, officials walking and talking in the Indiana Statehouse.]

Time to build on over a century of leadership.
Time to invest in transformative research, encourage innovation, and increase opportunities.
Time to enhance collaboration, attract top talent, and make life-altering discoveries.
Time to embrace our future and expand our service to our state and beyond.
[DESCRIPTION: A series of images: A group of women stand in a line onstage in front of a curtain that reads "Dance Marathon," each holding up a number that collectively read $607,870.25, while confetti falls down on the audience in front of them. An American flag and an Indiana flag wave next to the Soldiers and Sailors monument in downtown Indianapolis. A computer screen displays programming code. A group of young women sit a table inside a building, next to large windows with a view of Indianapolis. Two men stand outside, wearing graduation caps and gowns, and one of them holds up their phone to snap a selfie.]

Time to realize our vision to become one of the nation's leading urban research universities.
Time to empower each other and equip students for success.
[DESCRIPTION: Two young men wear life jackets and row a canoe during the annual Regatta on the canal in downtown Indianapolis. People stand and sit along the canal's edge, watching the race and cheering them on. Children approach a Jaguar mascot, and they clap their hands. A young man sits at a desk with a laptop, and a robot on the desk moves. A group of people stand on a field and play foursquare volleyball. Young adults walk past each other in a hallway; one young woman holds a laptop and a coffee cup. A young man stands in front of a camera, with a greenscreen behind him. A man in a lab coat from the IU School of Medicine faces the camera with men and women wearing lab coats standing behind him.]
[AUDIO:]
It's time for Indiana University Indianapolis.
A new era of impact begins today.
[DESCRIPTION: Text onscreen: Indiana University Indianapolis. Behind it is Indianapolis at night, with lights reflecting from the skyscrapers. Above the text, the Indianapolis University logo of a white trident inside a red box.]

News releases
Student success strengthens our state
Our reimagined structure creates more opportunities for students and positions our graduates to make an even greater impact on Indiana.
We’ll increase the number of job-ready graduates, with a focus on developing talent in science, bioscience, medicine, and more. This will build better support for our communities and fuel economic growth in the capital city and beyond.
Heart of Indiana. Home of innovation.
Because we share a mission to propel Indiana’s economy, collaboration with Purdue remains central to our plan. We will continue embarking on life-changing initiatives together, such as the creation of a new biosciences engineering institute.
We are building on IUPUI’s more than 50 years of accomplishment to propel us into becoming one of the preeminent urban research universities in this country.

Want to know more about what's next?
As change-makers, we don't shy away from charting new territory. But we also know that understanding how things are evolving gives us confidence to move forward.
Ownership of programs
IU will continue to own and operate the Indianapolis campus. We will assume full responsibility for what is now the School of Science; bolster our training for tomorrow’s IT workforce by expanding our Luddy School of Informatics, Computing, and Engineering; and amplify our health science capabilities.
Continuity for students
Current students will experience little immediate change. They will continue earning their degrees from either IU or Purdue, and all existing programs will continue being offered on the Indianapolis campus.
Faculty and staff impact
The campus will continue operating with outstanding faculty members teaching and conducting world-class research alongside dedicated staff members supporting day-to-day operations.
Task forces for success
With careful planning, we formed task forces to address a variety of specific areas. We're dedicated to ensuring a smooth transition and realignment will be complete by the start of the 2024 academic year.
