Indy's inner circle

When Mayor Bart Peterson took office in January, he looked for excellent people to help him make good his campaign pledge to make Indianapolis a world-class city. IUPUI alumni were at the top of the list.

Jerry Barker, a 1978 graduate of the School of Public and Environmental Affairs (SPEA), was named Indianapolis Chief of Police. Louis Dezelan, a 1977 SPEA grad, was named Indianapolis Fire Chief.

Other IUPUI graduates were quickly tapped to fill key roles in Peterson’s administration. Seven law school graduates were appointed to high-level positions. The names and positions of the seven and their years of graduation:

• Keira Amstutz, assistant deputy mayor, 1995

• Steve Campbell, communications director, Mayor’s Office, 1997

• Carolyn Coleman, director, Department of Metropolitan Development, 1997

• Greta Hawvermale, director, Department of Public Works, 1999

• Anthony Overholt, chief litigation counsel, 1991

• Julie Randolph, assistant deputy mayor, 1989

• Robert Turner, director, Department of Public Safety, 1985
