Welcome to the Hutton Honors College.
As of July 1, 2025, it is my privilege to serve as Dean of Hutton Honors College, a critical point of convergence for excellence and accomplishment at Indiana University.
As a Professor of Information Systems in my 28th year at IU , I feel excitement and optimism about the opportunities our students have on campus, the shifting possibilities for the future of work, and how IU graduates will add value in their organizations, communities, and around the globe.
The Hutton Honors College prepares driven, preeminent leaders and achievers for lives of meaningful contribution, servant leadership, and addressing the world’s most pressing problems through multifaceted and interdisciplinary lenses. There are few places where emerging scientists, artists, business leaders, policy-makers, engineers, problem-solvers, doers and difference-makers can all come together, united to contribute powerfully at IU and beyond. At IU, Hutton is that place.
I am filled with a sense of excitement about the rich legacy of IU, the meaningful impact of Hoosiers, and the future of our university and Hutton Honors College. Together – along with the Hutton Honors College staff and faculty, Hutton students, and the whole IU Bloomington community — I look forward to strengthening our students’ experience on campus, and setting them up for success in all the days that follow their time at IU.
