Dear partners,

Many of the programs Kelley offers would not happen without your engagement and support. While there are always ongoing needs, such as scholarships and professorships that help us attract the best students and faculty, there are often new programs that can benefit from your insights and support to help create momentum.

Two of our newest initiatives, the Finance Diversity Program and the Mental Wellness Program, are highlighted in this report.

The Finance Diversity Program is a Kelley School initiative designed to increase the diversity of high-potential students choosing a finance major and pursuing a career within corporations and the financial services. The program strives to empower diverse individuals to be confident being their authentic selves in the workplace and beyond.

While the program begins in the freshman year, students are expected to remain a part of the FDP throughout their academic careers, and to stay involved as alumni.

Both make an impact on our students and the contributions they will make at their future companies. If you would like to support these initiatives through sharing insights or investment, please contact Pam Warden, pwarden@indiana.edu, or Brandy Taulbee, bjtaulbe@indiana.edu.

In addition to those new programs, we are faced with increasing challenges regarding job placement, especially for our international students. While we often focus on hiring in the U.S., securing employment for our highly qualified international students in their home countries is also critically important. If you represent a multinational company that is looking for talented, hardworking, and tenacious graduates overseas, particularly at the MBA level, let’s work together to ensure our graduates are productively employed and our school’s rankings remain strong.

Thank you for all you do.

As more companies are working to improve the well-being of their employees, Kelley is also striving to help students achieve balance—as students and throughout their lives as business leaders. Kelley has started several mental wellness programs to teach students how to manage stress and cope with challenges, and the school plans to create a space dedicated to wellness inside the Hodge Hall Undergraduate Center.

Mental Wellness Initiative Goals

• Empower students to take greater control over their mental health by developing stress management techniques.

• Equip faculty and staff with best practices on how to best help students.

• Enhance Kelley’s environment to normalize and destigmatize the reality of stress.

Programs in Development

• Peer mentorship program to help students identify early warning signs of excessive stress in themselves and others and to provide coping mechanisms.

• Workshops to normalize the prevalence of stress and anxiety and to empower students to determine personal coping and management strategies.

• Faculty and staff coaching to encourage students to develop proactive stress-reduction strategies.

How robust is the Kelley network within your organization? When was the last time Kelley alumni gathered? Perhaps you know a few Kelleys at work, but the true numbers might surprise you. This year, the Corporate and Foundation Relations team is partnering with Kelley Advancement to better engage Kelley alumni within Kelley’s partner companies and firms, and we need your help.

Why does having an engaged group of Kelley alumni within your organization matter?

Internal Involvement

• Highlighting the power and success of the Kelley alumni network within your organization can help generate interest among our students and impact hiring yields.

• A strong group of engaged alumni show your interns and new hires a built-in, welcoming network they can draw from for advice and comradery.

• Informed alumni are more inclined to leverage your matching gifts program to help support opportunities at Kelley that align with initiatives important to your organization.

• Kelley alumni share a common bond. Opportunities for them to gather can lead to additional teaming and collaboration opportunities.

External Engagement

• Kelley alumni can help strengthen our overall partnership. Kelley’s best corporate partners have proud and informed alumni, a passionate executive champion, and an engaged talent acquisition campus manager.

• Knowledgeable alumni, familiar with Kelley’s offerings, can help your talent acquisition team navigate the programs, departments, and faculty within Kelley.

• Engaged alumni are more inclined to volunteer to assist with your on- and off-campus recruiting efforts. Kelley students trust alumni when they talk about where they live, work, and socialize.

• Involved alumni are tremendous ambassadors for your company.
