The College Luminaries Program is a new
student organization from the College of Arts and Sciences looking for
motivated student leaders. We aim to invite IU College of Arts &
Sciences alumni back to campus every fall for a three-day stay filled with
classroom talks, panel discussions, dinners, and other social activities. These
alumni, called Luminaries, are exceptional, multifaceted individuals who have
reached a high level of success in their professional fields. We hope that
these Luminaries will provide mentorship to students by sharing their
experiences, giving advice, and offering connections.
The governing body of the program, the
Luminaries Program Council, wants to identify 12 Hoosier Hosts - enthusiastic
and dedicated student leaders to serve as liaisons to the Luminaries. Hoosier
Hosts will accompany these prestigious alumni to and from destinations, as well
as attend special events featuring the Luminaries during the program's 3-day
event in November. As the Luminaries’ foremost contact, Hoosier Hosts will build
important connections with and learn from these professionals who developed
their paths for success on the IUB campus. The Hoosier Hosts will play an
integral role in the program’s success. All students who have a major or minor
in the College of Arts and Sciences are welcome to apply!
If you have any questions, don't

on Thursday, February 20th at 11:59 PM.

The
College Luminaries Program
The IU College of
Arts and Sciences is launching a new initiative called the College Luminaries
Program, which is inspired by Purdue’s prestigious Old Masters Program (http://www.purdueoldmasters.org/). The Luminaries
Program Council (LPC), the 7 students on the governing body of the program,
aims to invite Luminaries back to campus to share advice and experiences with
students. Luminaries are alumni of the IU College of Arts & Sciences who
have been successful in their professional fields. At the beginning of April,
the LPC will select and invite the four Luminaries – one per division of the
College: Arts and Humanities, Social and
Historical Studies, Natural and Mathematical Sciences, and International
Programs – back to campus for a three-day event in October.
Goals
1.
Create a campus environment within the College
that allows for student professional development, mentorship and lifelong
connections.
2.
Invite IU College of Arts & Sciences alumni
and/or friends back to campus for the purpose of sharing personal and
professional ideas and experiences with Indiana University students, alumni,
faculty and staff to inspire future leaders.
