The most recent issue of Governing magazine includes an article by John Buntin titled "Seniors and the City," which reviews the concept of the naturally occurring retirement community (NORC).

Buntin's article gives considerable space to the history of NORCs -- from the coining of the term by urban planning professor Michael Hunt to the insight and vision of NORC pioneer Fredda Vladeck in New York City. Buntin also shines a light on Indiana's NORC efforts, including the innovative approach taken by the University of Indianapolis Center for Aging & Community (CAC).

Funded by the Indiana Family and Social Services Administration Division on Aging and working with Indiana's first NORC, Elder-Friendly Communities, CAC worked to establish five NORCs throughout the state in urban, suburban and rural settings.

The University of Indianapolis School for Adult Learning (SAL) celebrated with our graduates and their families on Saturday, May 2nd.   The SAL Faculty and Staff saluted our graduates as they completed this chapter in their life.  The morning started with nineteen of our SAL students being inducted into the Alpha Nu chapter of Alpha Sigma Lambda, the National Honorary Society for Adult Students.  Our Alpha Sigma Lambda Chapter sponsor, Bob Burchfield, remarked of these inductees,  "these are the best of the best."

William R. Wash was recognized as the Adjunct Faculty Member of the Year for 2009 in the School for Adult Learning, as voted on by SAL students (along with departmental eligibility criteria). Bill teaches Management courses in SAL and is employed full-time at Harlan Laboratories, Inc.

This Saturday, May 2nd, the School for Adult Learning (SAL) students will join other University of Indianapolis graduates at our annual commencement ceremony.

The reasons these 73 adult students returned to school vary.  Many wanted to achieve this goal, others wanted to set an example for their children, still others are hoping to find a better paying job.  Whatever their reason for joining the SAL program, they completed their journey and will  celebrate their accomplishments this Saturday.

At the University of Indianapolis, a graduate degree in iLEAD (our principal leadership program) or our teacher education programs will help you build your knowledge, advance in your field, or embark on a new career.  Following admission to education graduate programs, students want information about cost and financial aid.  Cost per credit hour for iLEAD classes is $360.  Financial assistance is available for School of Education masters degree and certification programs.  A good place to start is the University of Indianapolis Financial Aid Office at 1-800-232-8634 or http://financialaid.uindy.edu/grad_front_page.php.

Filing a FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) and completing the UAPP (University Financial Aid Application) are the first steps for obtaining financial aid.  The main sources of assistance are the Federal Stafford Loan and Federal Graduate PLUS Loan.  Other resources are described through the University of Indianapolis Office of Financial Aid links, including financialaid.uindy.edu/additional_links.php.  Personal attention is a priority for University of Indianapolis staff, as we work to explore multiple financing options for our graduate education students.  These may include private alternative loans, United Methodist loans, and other possibilities described on our web site at financialaid.uindy.edu/alternative_financing_grad.php.

leadership program in May or September,
