Without a doubt, since last August, FRIT has experienced another year of challenges and transitions. After overcoming the institutional tensions around the IU graduate workers’ strike which led to a long-overdue stipend raise, we welcomed a new department administrator, Ms. Connie Sue May as the head of our dedicated staff team.
All of us – faculty, graduate students, and staff – have come together during this year, when all aspects of our work fully resumed in person, to face the shifting dynamics of academia while continuing to champion the core values of our department: first-rate research, innovative pedagogy, and committed service to our IU community and the world.
We want to hear from you! Share your story, and let us know what’s new in your career and life.
