What the press is saying about IU

The headline: “Donations Build Art Offerings”

The story: IU East officials plan a new gallery to display a growing art collection that has been bolstered by donations from Naomi Osbourne, a Richmond native who worked for the United Nations for 25 years, traveled and collected art during her years in Africa, the Philippines and the Middle East.

The quote: “Her donation has helped to build the university collection. It’s exciting. What she has given us is the nucleus of a collection. Soon we will have a permanent gallery.” —Tom Thomas, professor of art and head of the art department

The quote: “There is very little room for students to make mistakes.” —Connell Nelson, IPFW director of international services
