IU program aims to turn lab rats into leaders: Business training is tailor-made for scientists

July 7, 2008

Andrea Walker is a chemist with management aspirations. But instead of signing up for a traditional MBA program, the team manager at Indianapolis-based AIT Laboratories will enroll this year in a slimmed-down business program that focuses on the life sciences. The program, called the Kelley Executive Certificate in the Business of Life Sciences, is a new creation of Indiana University’s Kelley School of Business. The program will conduct most of its classes online over a one-year period. The courses will…

SPORTS: Lamentations-and a recommendation-for old IU

July 7, 2008

Adam Herbert, who may go down as the sorriest presidential hire in the history of the Big Ten, is nowhere to be seen, those velvety crimson jumpsuits disappearing about the same time Sampson was shown the door. Certain members among the IU trustees-who so violated the trust part of their duties, first in hiring Herbert and then in bringing in Sampson-are not about to step up and take responsibility for their actions. I guess it will all come out some…

A&E: Chinese art from within and without

July 7, 2008

This week, China art at the Indianapolis Art Center. And a famous scroll finds itself in remarkable company at the Indianapolis Museum of Art. Anyone who has set foot into the Indianapolis Art Center has bumped into the name Fehsenfeld. It is, after all, half the moniker of the center’s Churchman-Fehsenfeld Gallery. And so I think some skepticism was to be expected when I heard that one of the two artistic worlds showcased in the Indianapolis Art Center’s “Two Worlds,…

Midfield, stadium projects boon to minorities: In most cases, participation goals were met, exceeded

July 7, 2008

Between construction of the Indianapolis Airport’s midfield terminal and Lucas Oil Stadium, John Thompson’s companies have won $11.5 million in work. His plumbing and electrical supply distributorships, as well as his consulting and engineering firms, all at the corner of 22nd Street and College Avenue, collectively have grown annual revenue to $50 million. Such revenue growth would have been impossible for Thompson and scores of other minority and female business owners if not for projects that require their participation. “I…

Candidates surface for IU’s athletic director job

July 7, 2008

Well-known names are bubbling to the top as speculation heats up about who will replace embattled Indiana University Athletic
Director Rick Greenspan and how much money the job will command. Greenspan announced June 26 that he’ll step down at the end
of the year. The decision came after the NCAA added to the list of charges facing IU’s men’s basketball program over rules
violations under former Coach Kelvin Sampson.

Meridian and Pennsylvania streets. The developers of the $60 million mixed-use project are moving forward after landing the

The Lafayette-based professional team currently plays at Kuntz Stadium, which is across 16th Street from the old baseball stadium. The […]

Events facing higher costs at Lucas Oil Stadium: Venue managers also bracing for additional expenses

July 14, 2008

Local big-draw events are itchy to make their first-ever runs in the $675 million Lucas Oil Stadium, in hopes the roomier venue will let them draw more attendees who want to kick the tires and enjoy the new stadium smell. But there’s a trade-off-a bigger price tag to cover security guards, ushers and cleanup. And at least one event is weighing higher ticket prices as a result. “I don’t think there’s any doubt [Lucas Oil Stadium] will cost more based…

Fishers planning tech incubator: Town hires former IU Emerging Technology Center chief to lead biz park

July 14, 2008

Now the town wants to build on that foundation by adding a high-tech business park to its list of amenities. “Businesses are looking to come to a site where they can find employees with the requisite level of education and the ability to get additional education close by. Education is the key,” said Fishers Town Council President Scott Faultless. “We…

EYE ON THE PIE: Uneven job growth plagues state

July 14, 2008

Should the next U.S. president be concerned about uneven job growth? Or should he just let the market determine which states prosper and which struggle? There is no explicit national job policy to bring employment to slow-growing areas. Neither Sen. Barack Obama nor Sen. John McCain has ventured to discuss the issue. Job growth is left to the states, with each competing against the others in an expensive battle of subsidies. From 2002 to 2007, the number of U.S. jobs…

Tech jobs rise, but graduates are on decline: Universities working hard to attract students into IT, computer sciences

July 14, 2008

At a time when central Indiana is adding high-tech jobs faster than any other area in the Midwest, the overall health of the industry could be threatened by a lack of interest from college students. The Washington, D.C.-based Computing Research Association’s annual survey of universities with doctorate-granting programs found an 18-percent drop this year in students completing bachelor’s degrees in professional information technology fields. The latest statistics are particularly alarming given they continue a trend seen for several years. Enrollment…

Sports Corp. made city a sports giant, but real estate plans fell short

July 14, 2008

Construction of Pan Am Plaza in the mid-1980s was a major step in the evolution of Indianapolis into a sports town worthy
of hosting a Super Bowl. But the office building, parking garage, skating rinks and public gathering place came up short over
the years in other ways for both taxpayers and developer, the Indiana Sports Corp.

Peyton Manning is Colts’ sales MVP

July 15, 2008

July 17, 2008
