Additional Info

Recipients of the Emerging Leaders Honors Scholarship stand with former IUSB chancellor Terry Allison.

Terry L. Allison served as the fifth chancellor of IU South Bend from 2013–2018. He earned a BA in economics and political science and a Master of Library and Informational Sciences from the University of California, Berkeley, as well as an MA in comparative literature and PhD in literature from UC San Diego.

During his tenure as chancellor of IUSB, Allison developed an academic master plan and campus strategic plan. Under his leadership, the campus added several new majors and graduate programs and completed major renovations of the Administration Building and Riverside Hall. He stewarded the campus through its Jubilee Year (2016–2017) and successfully ushered IU South Bend through its reaccreditation process in the fall of 2017. Allison resigned as chancellor at the end of the 2018 academic year, returning to a position within the faculty.

Allison believes in rewarding students who perform well academically during their first year of study. He also believes that early faculty mentorship of undergraduate students helps foster creativity and innovation, which provides a significant positive benefit to students and faculty alike. Therefore, he created this award to support and encourage deserving IU South Bend students.

Thank you for supporting IU South Bend's future leaders and difference-makers!
