达尔文McCallian, a 1975 alumnus of the College of 艺术与科学, 2023年6月, stepped up during the Be So BOLD fundraising campaign to support Sycamores for years to come.

McCallian graduated with a Bachelor’s degree in Political Science and Economics from 澳门合法赌场官网. 在他还是学生的时候, he was regularly involved in campus activities such as Theater, 蓝色贝雷帽, Tandemonia, 校园Revue, 和民谣歌唱大会.

In 1981, he received his 工商管理硕士 from the University of Baltimore. 在他的职业生涯中, McCallian worked in various roles at the Social Security 政府, 美国国税局, 司法部, and the Treasury 部门 before retiring in 2008.

“作为一所大学, we are fortunate to have thoughtful donors and alums, 就像达尔文, who truly care about our students’ future. The 达尔文McCallian Executive Leadership Forum Endowment and 达尔文McCallian Endowed Professor of Business will be fundamental pieces of our experiential learning process while providing valuable resources to the next generation of business leaders. 澳门合法赌场官网 is sincerely grateful for this wonderful gift,” said Dr. 黛博拉·柯蒂斯，国际州立大学校长.

$225,000 of his gift will establish the 达尔文McCallian Executive Leadership Forum Endowment. This forum will bring influential thought leaders to the 斯科特商学院 (SCOB) to share their leadership philosophy, 业务专长, 澳门合法赌场官网经验, and career journeys with students, 教师, 以及校园社区.

“Through thoughtful collaboration with Dean Daugherty, we were able to create a forum that will significantly expand the traditional classroom experience, which is something I have been dreaming of since the 1970s,达尔文·麦卡利安说. “It is my hope that future speakers will be graduates of the 斯科特商学院 who had attended earlier forums when they were students and grew into well-rounded professionals in the business world.”

The remaining $1 million of his gift is a commitment in his estate and will establish the 达尔文McCallian Endowed Professor of Business.

“Establishing a professorship in business bestows a level of prestige that is unique and tremendously valuable for the college long-term, and the McCallian Executive Leadership Forum will bring influential industry professionals to campus that share their knowledge with our current students,” said 斯科特商学院 院长特里·多尔蒂.

In consort with the 达尔文McCallian Executive Leadership Forum, this endowed position aims to raise the visibility and stature of 澳门合法赌场官网 and the 斯科特商学院.

“As I look back on my education at ISU, it is apparent the professors I had impacted my success the most. I wanted to find a way to grant current students a similar experience, and creating the 达尔文McCallian Endowed Professor of Business is my way of accomplishing that,麦卡利安说. “This professorship enriches the student experience, 为SCOB带来可见性, and sets Indiana State apart as a university of choice for future business leaders.”

The 达尔文McCallian Endowed Professor of Business will support 教师 in the SCOB while allowing the Dean to honor or recruit a highly qualified 教师 member to further promote 澳门合法赌场官网’s excellence in instruction and research.

“因为达尔文的慷慨, the 斯科特商学院 will influence student success for generations,多尔蒂院长说. “Great business education involves an all-encompassing experience that happens both inside and outside the classroom, which is exactly his vision for this gift.”

一起工作, both of McCallian’s endowments will enhance the student experience for Sycamores on a degree path in the SCOB.

“达尔文McCallian is a Sycamore to the core. He has continuously given back to his alma mater and is being bold in his support of 斯科特商学院 students,” said Vice President of 大学的发展 and CEO of the ISU 基金会 Andrea Angel. “Darwin sees the importance of providing resources, like additional learning experiences and world-renowned 教师, to further enhance the education provided at Indiana State. His continued generosity is sincerely appreciated.
