business and enhance quality of

future will be in abundance,
Harris added.
In the study, 13 peer communities
were examined to better assess
how Kokomo and its region has fared over the past decade, showing that the city has not fallen too far behind its peers in
educational attainment, unemployment rate, and level of innovation. The peer communities include Anderson, S.C.; Decatur Ala.;
Rocky Mount, N.C.; Morristown, Tenn.; Battle Creek, Mich.; Lebanon, Pa.; Sheboygan, Wis.; Cleveland, Tenn.; Danville, Va.;
Jackson, Tenn.; Lima, Ohio; Fond du Lac, Wis.; and Rome, Ga.
In terms of innovation, none of the peer communities scored greater than the U.S. average of 100, and Kokomo and the region
ranks as the second most innovative in the group. The productivity and employment and economic well-being categories were its
two highest scoring sub-indexes. The fact that the second highest performing category was economic wellbeing indicates that
Kokomo does well converting innovation inputs into performance outputs.
IU Kokomo commissioned this benchmarking study to support the universitys work with leaders in north central Indiana aimed at
understanding and enhancing the regions economic competitiveness and broadly advancing its quality of life. It is particularly timely
to benchmark Kokomo now, considering the economic turmoil it has undergone due to the Great Recession.
Audience members who joined in discussion included Ivy Tech Community College Chancellor Steve Daily, State Rep. Mike
Karickoff, and Kokomo Mayor Greg Goodnight.
The study was presented by Jerry Conover, director of the Indiana Business Research Center at the IU Kelley School of Business,
and includes Carroll, Cass, Clinton, Fulton, Grant, Howard, Miami, Tipton, and Wabash counties.

Dr. Victor Bogle
KOKOMO, IN He blazed the path for those of us who have followed, and we are forever grateful for his legacy.
Chancellor Michael Harris reflects on the impact of Dr. Victor Bogle at Indiana University Kokomo the campus first chancellor who
died October 16.
A memorial service will take place on Sunday, November 20, 2 p.m., at
the Elliott House in Kokomo to honor the life of Dr. Bogle. The service is
a public remembrance and open to all who wish to share in honoring
and remembering his many contributions and remarkable life.
Chancellor Harris will give brief remarks.
Our campus would not be where it is today without the leadership and
guidance he provided to Indiana University Kokomo during his more
than 20 years of service, Harris added.
In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations are made to the
Chancellor and Mrs. Victor M. Bogle Scholarship, which funds a student
of history or political science at IU Kokomo; the Indiana Historical
Society, or the Alzheimers Association.
Following is Dr. Bogles full obituary:
Dr. Victor M. Bogle, Chancellor Emeritus of Indiana University Kokomoand professor of history, died Sunday, Oct. 16, 2011, in Atlanta, Ga., at
the age of 90. He was born in New Albany on Sept. 24, 1921, the son
of Elroy B. and Anna Mae (Black) Bogle.
In 1942, when he was 19, Bogle joined the United States Army Air
Corps and was sent to fight in the South Pacific Theater during World
War II. He stayed in the Air Corps until 1945 and afterward studied at
Indiana Central College (now University of Indianapolis), graduating in
1947 with a B.A. in history. He then enrolled in Boston University, where
he received his M.A. in American history in 1948 and his Ph.D. in American civilization in 1951.
In 1952, Bogle worked for the U.S. Air Force in intelligence as a research analyst for two years and then returned to academia as a
professor. He taught American, European and English history at Tougaloo College in Tougaloo, Miss., a Historically Black College,until 1957. He became the academic advisor at Kokomos IU Extension Center in 1957 and the chief administrative officer in 1959.
Dr. Bogle was chief executive officer of the IU operations in Kokomo from 1959 to 1979. During that period, he led the conversion of
the IU Extension Center program, which offered selected undergraduate courses, into a commuter campus granting associate and
baccalaureate degrees to both IU and Purdue University students in a seven-county area. He oversaw the construction of the
original campus buildings in the 1960s, and he helped bestow the first degrees in 1970.
In 2000, Indiana Gov. Frank OBannon awarded Dr. Bogle the Sagamore of the Wabash Award, Indianas highest service citation,
for his dedication to higher education.
Dr. Bogle successfully guided the transition of Indiana Universitys presence in Kokomo from a smattering of courses in a historic
mansion on the west side of the city to its current site and regional mission. After leading the fundraising and overseeing the design
and construction of the original campus buildings, Dr. Bogle worked with faculty and IU system officers to develop curricularofferings serving the higher education needs of students and employers in seven counties of north central Indiana.
He wrote the campus first long-range academic and physical facilities master plans and championed numerous educational

innovations, particularly the development of the baccalaureate degree in liberal studies, and the implementation of Project
Outreach, whereby IU Kokomo offered classes in Logansport, Tipton, Peru and other communities throughout the region. This effort
mitigated enrollment declines by offering both undergraduate and graduate degree programs during the mid-1970s economic
slowdown. In 1972, the Indiana Commission for Higher Education floated a proposal that would have eliminated four-year
undergraduate degree programs at the local campus. Dr. Bogle orchestrated extensive community protest, and by the next year the
proposal was dropped.
Throughout his administration, Dr. Bogle never lost touch with students. He taught at least one history class or seminar each year.
He thoroughly enjoyed intellectual interchange, both in and out of the classroom. Faculty and students alike would frequently find
themselves in impromptu discussions of events and issues with Chancellor Bogle over coffee.
Dr. Bogle taught history at the campus, wrote numerous articles about history and pursued his scholarly research on Indianas earlyrailroads until his retirement in 1992. He donated his research findings and manuscripts to the Indiana Historical Society. His final
major work was a comprehensive study, The History of Indiana Railroads (forthcoming).
Called a great humanitarian by many, Dr. Bogle was driven in life by his sense of fairness. It was the guiding force that led him to
fight for higher education opportunities for all people, regardless of their financial means, and to protect civil rights for all people,
regardless of their race or mental condition. He worked tirelessly in this regard, informally with other like-minded civic leaders, and
formally as a board president or board member of several organizations, including the Mental Health Association and the Kokomo
Chamber of Commerce.
Dr. Bogle is survived by the love of his life and wife of 58 years, Fern J. (Schenk) Bogle, Atlanta, Ga.; his two daughters, Heather
Lea Bogle and April Lea Bogle, both of Atlanta, Ga.; two grandchildren, Kenneth Miles Wilkerson and Anna Taylor Booth, both of
Atlanta, Ga.; his brother, James Bogle, Hemet, Calif.; and numerous nieces and nephews.
He was preceded in death by his brother, Nelson Bogle, Houston, Texas; and his sister, Doris Cullen, Jeffersonville.
Dr. Bogle courageously battled Alzheimers disease for more than a decade. During the last three and a half years of his life, he
was a resident at the Fountainview Center for Alzheimers Disease in Atlanta. The Bogle family is grateful for the loving care and
gentle kindness shown to him by the Fountainview Center staff.
Memorial services are 3 p.m. Nov. 2 at the Fountainview Center in Atlanta, Ga., and 2 p.m. Nov. 20 at the Elliott House of the
Howard County Historical Society in Kokomo.
In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations be made to the Chancellor and Mrs. Victor M. Bogle Scholarship, which funds a
student of history or political science at IUK; the Indiana Historical Society; or the Alzheimers Association. A.S. Turner and Sons
Funeral Home, Decatur, Ga., assisted the family with arrangements.

INDIANAPOLIS AND IU CAMPUSES ACROSS THE STATE -- The most effective university/community partnerships are a two-way
street. How do we define best practices in building strong, reciprocal partnerships? What roles do such partnerships play in
addressing the Hoosier Brain Drain? These questions will take center stage at the University Partnerships and Reciprocity
Conference held in Indianapolis Monday, Nov. 14.
Faculty, staff, students and community partners may participate via videoconference from IU campuses across the state (for
locations see http://www.iu.edu/~vpurapp/conferenceagenda.shtml).
The conference is made possible by the Lilly Endowment Inc. The endowment's 2008 Sustaining Grant to Promote Educational
Opportunities through Collaborations supports entrepreneurship, internship, service learning, leadership development and job
placement activities on all of IU's campuses. Many of IU's sister universities who are participating in the grant will be represented
by conference panelists and/or attendees.
"We are very grateful for the endowment's foresight and creativity in providing the original grant in 2003 and for their continuing
commitment with the five-year sustaining grant in 2008," said IU Executive Vice President John Applegate. "These grants have
supported the development of such entities as IU Bloomington's Elmore Entrepreneurship Law Clinic, which provides
entrepreneurship education to law students; they have financed the founding of IUPUI's Solution Center and IU Northwest's Center
for Urban and Regional Excellence. Thanks to Lilly's transformative generosity, these and other valuable experiential learning and
outreach programs are now part of the fabric of IU and the communities we serve."
The day will begin with a talk by Donald F. Kuratko, recently named the top entrepreneurship program director in the nation by
Entrepreneurship magazine. Professor Kuratko leads the Johnson Center for Entrepreneurship & Innovation and teaches in the IU
Kelley School of Business. The Kelley School's entrepreneurship program is currently ranked first among public universities by U.S.
News & World Report and Fortune magazine. Kuratko will discuss entrepreneurship as a critical skill for the 21st century, one that
cuts across disciplines and professions.
IU Vice President for Engagement Bill Stephan will provide an overview of efforts to connect IU's statewide intellectual and creative
resources with strategic opportunities that foster Indiana's economic growth and enhance quality of life for all Hoosiers.
IU Kokomo Chancellor Michael Harris will lead a panel discussion on the critical role leadership skills play in enhancing economic
vitality. He will be joined by:

KOKOMO, Ind. Governor Mitch Daniels appointed Indiana University Kokomo Chancellor Michael Harris to serve on the Indiana
Automotive Council (IAC) a newly formed group of automotive experts to enhance, grow, and promote the automotive industry in
Indiana.
This group met for the first time on Wednesday, August 31, to begin
discussions on specific action items including how to strengthen the
competitiveness of the state in the global automotive marketplace.
The ultimate goal is to stimulate long-term job creation and capital
investment and to make Indiana known as the automotive state of
tomorrow.
Indiana University Kokomo is an essential partner in the success of
Indianas economy, Gov. Daniels said in a letter to Harris.
Hoosiers need an industry-led initiative, in partnership with
government and universities like Indiana University.
The IAC is a collaboration between industry, government, and higher

30 AUGUST 2011
Good evening colleagues!
Indiana University Kokomo is off to an exciting new academic year, and I hope this finds everyone filled with much optimism and
enthusiasm.
Our campus is a campus of destination. This is imminently clear by record-breaking enrollment numbers released today.
Overall enrollment and students who attend full time has reached an all-time high for fall semester for our campus. This record is
based on IU Kokomo as primarily a baccalaureate and masters granting institution.
Official university reports today (August 29) show a record-breaking number of students, an impressive 6.7 percent increase,nearly
double last years growth of 3.9 percent. Current head count is at 3,318, compared to 3,109 this time last year. The increase in
students reflects a significant rise in credit hours of 6.2 percent.
This is exciting news! More recent high school graduates WANT to come to IU Kokomo. We continue to make this a cool place to
be where students can also earn a world class IU degree.
This was evident just yesterday as more than 300 people came to celebrate the first home womens volleyball game. The tailgate party
brought the campus community together in a way it has never been together before. You could feel the Cougar pride!
Cougar fans of all ages enjoyed great food, fun and music, including the t-shirt launcher and corn hole games, sponsored by the IU
Kokomo Alumni Association. The Cougar Womens Volleyball team played the Trailblazers of Vincennes University at NorthwesternHigh School.
It was a wonderful, uplifting, and inspiring day. Together, we will experience many more.

KOKOMO, Ind. Indiana University Kokomo is at the forefront of leading a cutting-edge, three-pronged approach to enhancing
economic development through entrepreneurship and innovation in north central Indiana. Chancellor Michael Harris was invited to
share this ideal with a legislative study committee seeking input on higher education and its role in boosting the economy.
The Triple Helix framework requires a paradigm shift a complete re-envisioning to economic development. Harris explained it is
imperative that regional campuses become leaders in initiating and developing the process, as he addressed the Interim Study
Committee on Economic Development on Thursday (August 25) at the Statehouse.
We are witnessing an economy that is being transformed from industrial manufacturing, in which natural resources and labor were
the key ingredients to an economy of knowledge, in which knowledge is the main resource that drives the economy through
innovation, Harris said. At the same time, we are living in an era of globalization and enhanced world-wide competitiveness.
Harris emphasized to the committee the importance of entrepreneurship.
Entrepreneurship is not necessarily about teaching someone to start a new business, rather, it is a mindset, Harris said. It is about
learning to think entrepreneurially as a way of life. It is being creative and innovative.
In addition, Harris explained the Triple Helix approach allows for a free flow of ideas and entrepreneurial behavior among theorganizations. For example, many IU Kokomo students work to finance their education rather than working as PART of their
education. IU Kokomo is currently offering co-op and internship opportunities so that s tudents can integrate their work into their
educational experience and develop skills that are necessary for their career inspirations.
I call upon you, the committee, as you develop new policies and programs to utilize the Triple Helix Model. By adopting this
paradigm shift, I am confident that Indiana will be a leading role model for economic development, he said.
The committee is chaired by State Rep. Mark Messmer, R-Jasper, and State Sen. Brandt Hershman, R-Buck Creek.

Dear Campus Community,
Welcome back to the beginning of another new and exciting semester at Indiana University Kokomo.
Many wonderful things took place over the summer. We have completed the simulation lab with the grand opening and ribbon
cutting set for tomorrow at 11:00 a.m.; the renovation of 3rd floor East building is complete; the seating in Havens Auditorium is
being replaced; and we are in the process of purchasing a new bus.
Also, thanks to all of the hard work of our physical plant staff the campus is in full bloom and looks amazing. Take time to walk the
campus and enjoy the beautiful landscaping.
But the most exciting news and the whole reason we do what we do in regards to academic excellence and student success would
be that we have had a substantial increase of freshman students. This plays a significant role in the impressive enrollment growth
this fall semester at Indiana University Kokomo. Preliminary reports show the numbers are up in this category by 17.4 percent as of
August 22, while overall attendance is ahead of last year. The number of students attending full time reflects an all-time record. In
addition, credit hours are coming in at a 4.6 percent increase from fall 2010.
One reason for our impressive growth is that we have added club sports to our list of activities. Come join Indiana University
Kokomo for food and fun as we kick off the opening of the women's intercollegiate athletics program with a tailgate party on
Sunday, August 28, at 12:30 p.m. at Northwestern High School. The IU Kokomo Cougars will take on Vincennes University at 2
p.m.
Thank you for your commitment to Indiana University Kokomo. We continue to be On the Move.
Best wishes for a great year!
Cheers,

helix. It is based on close,
collaborative efforts among
industry, government, and
universities, Harris said. Its
only those regions where
industry is alive, where
government is involved, and
where there exists a strong
university that they will be
ahead of the competition.
"We would like to see more
strengthening of that triple helix
effect, he said. The bottom
line, of course, is assuring the
American dream. We believe the
future is in abundance.
A recent report from the U.S. Conference of Mayors was a point of discussion. The mayoral panel also talked about economic
realities facing their cities and explored ideas for continual collaboration and enhanced economic development.
Kokomo Mayor Greg Goodnight welcomed the panel and emphasized the importance of coming together to examine ways to
enhance collaboration.
Regionalization is a way to give people hope, said Mayor Wayne Seybold of Marion.
"In order for regionalization to work, we need to plan for it, Seybold said. We need to have someone lead the process.
Monticello Mayor Jason Thompson said one obstacle faced by cities is finding skilled workers.
"Industries that are coming cant get the skilled worker, Thompson said. They dont have the math skill to run robotic machinery
in the assembly line.
Mike Fincher, mayor of Logansport, emphasized the importance of an educated workforce, stating that owners of companies looking
to relocate or establish a new business always ask the skill and education level of potential employees.
"If were going to be a marketable commodity, we need a better educated workforce, he said.
The region faces challenges based on transforming from a manufacturing workforce to an economy of knowledge and innovation,
where only entrepreneurs will survive, Harris said.
"This isnt unique here. We believe the regional campuses play a significant role in economic development, a vision of IU President
Michael McRobbie, Harris said. We are living in a tremendous era of globalization. It is no longer just Logansport and Kokomo. Its
a tsunami out there that is coming at us fast.
Mayors in attendance were Randy Strasser, Delphi; Greg Goodnight, Kokomo; Huck Lewis, Lebanon; Michael Fincher, Logansport;
Wayne Seybold, Marion; Jason Thompson, Monticello; Jim Walker, Peru; Bruce Hosier, Portland; Mark Smiley, Rochester; StevenCroyle, Winchester. Hodge Patel, district director for Congressman Joe Donnelly, also joined the panel.

Colleagues,
I hope you are enjoying a great summer and finding time to relax after a busy and most productive year. This past week the IU
Board of Trustees approved our 2011-2012 budget. I want to thank you for participating in the budget hearings; the process was
open, transparent and very helpful as I worked with the cabinet to craft and finalize a budget. Our budget is based on our values,strategic plan and focuses on our three themes.
As you know from President McRobbie's message, we were authorized a 1.5% pool salary increase. Last Fall we were able to
address 40% of the equity gaps and I am committed to continue to close those salary gaps that have developed over many years.
I am pleased to report that many of the budget requests and needs have been fulfilled. Detailed budgets will be distributed this
week. Among the additional resources we deployed were support materials for art classes, new computer software for the New
Media Program, a fulltime director of student teaching, a graduate admissions coordinator, additional financial aid funds, and new
equipment for the physical plant, just to name a few.
As we look to this coming academic year, our future looks bright. With our emphasis on building our brand and role in the region,
new enrollment strategies, new degree programs (a campus wide effort by many), and the introduction of athletics, we should
realize increased enrollment. With our degree completion pilot programs and our continued focus on intrusive advising, we shouldcontinue to see growth in the retention and graduation of students. Our new website will allow us to showcase our campus in ways
that we have never done before.
Our strong positioning and many successes are a direct result of your hard work, initiatives and commitment. As my first year
comes to a close, I want to thank you for making me feel welcomed and supported. All that we have accomplished is because of
your efforts! I look forward to an exciting year filled with growth and continued success.
Cheers,

Chancellor Michael Harris
emphasizes the importance of IU
Kokomo students and faculty
having international opportunities
in a global world, and of
expanding the relationship with
Sungshin.
We are looking forward to
enhancing this relationship that
will undoubtedly increase global
awareness for our students, aswell as play a major role in
increasing academic excellence
and student success in a
competitive, global world, said
Chancellor Harris. We know Dr.
Shim and Sungshin University
have a great passion for health,
welfare, and culture. We share
very similar values. Especially as
we look at globalization and
knowledge, many of the focuses
of Sungshin University are things
we care deeply about.
Just this past year, very successful exchanges took place as students from Sungshin studied at IU Kokomo, and students and
faculty from IU Kokomo spent time in Korea. Currently, Michael Tulley, professor of education, is teaching at Sungshin.
During her visit, Dr. Shim toured the campus and was impressed with the facilities, including the nursing clinical simulation center,
the Art Gallery, and the Library.
I am excited to be here. By visiting, we can learn more about the experiences of our students and talk more with the professors
who helped them have such a wonderful time here, Dr. Shim stated at a reception in her honor. I am looking forward to enhancing
the relationship.
Two of our students who were here in January came back to tell me the wonderful experiences they had here, how they learned
so much and made so many friends, and that they made the right choice by participating in this program, she added. PresidentShim thanked Chancellor Harris for the warm reception she received and expressed a deep commitment to work with him to grow
the partnership.
Thanks to a generous grant from Dr. Se-Ung Lee, a South Korean businessman and philanthropist, a nursing exchange program
between IU Kokomo and Sungshin Womens University and Jesus University was established in 2000. Although the program
initially involved only nursing students, a subsequent financial gift from Dr. Lee granted the exchange to expand to include all
majors.
Chancellor Harris has been invited by Dr. Lee to visit Sungshin this fall.
I am looking forward to meeting him as soon as possible, he said.
In 2009, Dr. Lee, chairman of the board of the Shin Il Educational Foundation and the Seoul Cyber University, received the IU
Distinguished International Service Award.

KOKOMO, Ind. Continuing to lead the effort in regional transformation, Indiana University Kokomo Chancellor Michael Harris
commissioned a metrics study of north central Indiana to gauge necessary steps needed to create a more competitive economy
based on knowledge, innovation, and entrepreneurship.
To learn about the report and its benefits, more
than 70 business, government, education, and
cultural leaders participated in the first Regional
Organizational Collaborative (ROC) on campus
Monday (May 23).
From day one, we believe at Indiana University
Kokomo that we are an educational and economic
force in the region, following the vision of IU
President Michael McRobbie for regional
campuses, said Harris. This study will allow us tocompare, understand, and analyze data so
regionalism wont be just a statement, but rather a
measurement we can use in our plans to transform
this region.
Jerry Conover, director of the Indiana Business
Research Center (IBRC) at Indiana University
Kelley School of Business, explained how his research will help improve the economic conditions and quality of life in north central
Indiana. Conover stated the benchmarking study will provide reliable data on performance, strengths and weaknesses, and
comparisons to peer communities nationwide.
