From tradition to transformation: The IUI Regatta journey from past to present
By Simone Robinson | Sept. 28It marked the first Regatta as IU Indianapolis (IUI), infusing anticipation with fresh energy that set the stage for a celebration like no other. Regatta, originally an alumni-led event, was primarily centered on raising scholarship funds. While this was an admirable goal, the event found its true purpose when it transitioned under the Division of Student Affairs by shifting its focus from solely alumni-driven to a student-centered initiative. This transition allowed students to connect with the event on a deeper level and fostered a sense of responsibility and ownership for a broader campus community.
