The Judd Leighton School of Business and Economics at IUSB is known throughout the region and beyond to offer a high-quality, AACSB-accredited educational curriculum. As part of a long-term plan to continually enhance the quality of the school, the Judd Leighton Foundation committed in principle to a two-part grant proposal from the IU Foundation/IUSB. The first, now complete, consisted of a challenge gift to support the completion of the Administration Building renovation, including the creation of three experiential learning labs for business and economics students and faculty.
Under part two, the Foundation would provide multi-year support for undergraduate scholarships, graduate fellowships, and specific staffing support within the school. The Foundation recently approved this proposal with a five-year commitment of annual scholarship funding.
