Chapters 4 and 5 : Business, SPEA, Education, and Social Work buildings

Buisness and SPEA buildings

Welcome to the four corners of IUPUI. We call it the "four corners" because this is the location where four of our buildings intersect: Taylor Hall, the education and social work building, University Library and the business/SPEA building.

The business/SPEA building houses the Kelley School of Business, one of the best business schools in the nation. It's also home to the O’Neill School of Public and Environmental Affairs, where students prepare to make a difference through public policy.

Business and SPEA buildings

Description of the video:

0:00:00.900,0:00:05.630
We’re standing on the second floor of Cavanaugh
Hall, right across the street from the Campus

0:00:05.630,0:00:06.920
Center.

0:00:06.920,0:00:11.309
Cavanaugh is actually connected to the Campus
Center through a Skywalk.

0:00:11.309,0:00:18.730
IUPUI has about 6 or so of these skywalks,
plus underground connections between buildings.

0:00:18.730,0:00:24.339
The majority of our buildings are connected,
which is great for getting across campus quickly.

0:00:24.339,0:00:28.890
And for those days when the weather isn’t
great and it’s raining or snowing, we can

0:00:28.890,0:00:33.770
just walk through the skywalks and get from
one building to another without ever having

0:00:33.770,0:00:36.700
to step foot outside.

0:00:36.700,0:00:42.140
Another great thing about the skywalks is
that they connect to most of the parking garages,

0:00:42.140,0:00:46.540
which makes it really safe to get back to
your car.

0:00:46.540,0:00:51.480
So this building, Cavanaugh Hall, is home
to the School of Liberal Arts.

0:00:51.480,0:00:56.220
Liberal Arts prepares you for life no matter
what industry you’re going into.

0:00:56.220,0:01:01.270
Liberal arts students’ ability to think
critically, adapt quickly, and solve problems

0:01:01.270,0:01:04.170
is in demand from employers everywhere.

0:01:04.170,0:01:09.830
Something new that the School of Liberal arts
just started offering is the Dual Degree Advantage

0:01:09.830,0:01:11.110
program.

0:01:11.110,0:01:17.220
The program allows any non-liberal arts major
to add a liberal arts degree and graduate

0:01:17.220,0:01:20.290
with two degrees in the same amount of time.

0:01:20.290,0:01:25.810
So, for example, you could add a language
degree to your engineering degree and be that

0:01:25.810,0:01:28.870
much more in demand once you graduate.

0:01:28.870,0:01:34.810
Cavanaugh Hall also houses various resources
including the Speakers Lab which offers free

0:01:34.810,0:01:40.830
assistance with any step of the speechmaking
process and access to practice studios so

0:01:40.830,0:01:43.480
you can run through your speech before giving
it.

0:01:43.480,0:01:50.100
And there’s also one of the two Writing
Centers on campus which provides free assistance

0:01:50.100,0:01:51.460
for writing your papers.

0:01:51.460,0:01:56.780
They’ll help you edit, brainstorm, or anything
you need to make your paper the best it can

0:01:56.780,0:01:58.030
be.

0:01:58.030,0:02:03.070
The second writing center on campus is in
the University Library, which we’ll see

0:02:03.070,0:02:04.070
later.

0:02:04.070,0:02:09.590
And finally, did you know that IUPUI and Cavanaugh
Hall is one of the largest single-archives

0:02:09.590,0:02:10.970
in the US?

0:02:10.970,0:02:17.069
The Center for Ray Bradbury Studies is home
to more than 100,000 pages of published and

0:02:17.069,0:02:23.239
unpublished literary works stored in thirty-one
of the author’s filing cabinets.

0:02:23.239,0:02:29.930
The Center even includes a recreation of Bradbury’s
office and library as it evolved in Los Angeles,

0:02:29.930,0:02:33.230
California for more than half a century.

0:02:33.230,0:02:37.230
We’re now in one of Lecture Hall’s classrooms.

0:02:37.230,0:02:40.180
These are the largest classrooms on campus.

0:02:40.180,0:02:44.450
The largest lecture room can hold about 400
students.

0:02:44.450,0:02:48.989
Most of the classes held here are intro level
or general education classes.

0:02:48.989,0:02:54.111
I’ve taken quite a few of my general education
classes here and even though there were a

0:02:54.111,0:03:00.239
lot of us in the class, I felt like the professors
made an effort to put names with faces.

0:03:00.239,0:03:05.489
I always had the opportunity to build relationships
with my classmates and professors through

0:03:05.489,0:03:10.319
team projects and the professors’ efforts
to build connections with us and get to know

0:03:10.319,0:03:10.719
us.

Education and Social Work buildings

The building on the other end of the "four corners" houses the School of Education and School of Social Work. It is also home to the Office of International Affairs and Study Abroad Office. Connected to this building is University Hall, home of the IU Lilly School of Philanthropy. This unique area of study allows students to take their passion for a cause and use it to make a difference.

Education and Social Work buildings

Description of the video:

0:00:00.210,0:00:05.580
Welcome to Taylor Courtyard, named after the
first Dean of the School of Liberal Arts and

0:00:05.580,0:00:11.309
one of the first African American administrators
at IUPUI.

0:00:11.309,0:00:17.050
Throughout the year, this space is used for
a variety of student events, including Weeks

0:00:17.050,0:00:18.159
of Welcome.

0:00:18.159,0:00:23.390
Weeks of Welcome happens at the start of each
semester to welcome new students and returning

0:00:23.390,0:00:29.080
students to campus with events like an Ice
Cream Social, the involvement fair, internship

0:00:29.080,0:00:31.859
fair, and much more.

0:00:31.859,0:00:36.920
Students also play games between classes in
the courtyard: Frisbee is really popular,

0:00:36.920,0:00:41.600
soccer, or a few students will try a slackline
between trees.

0:00:41.600,0:00:47.300
We’ll explore some of these spaces later,
but from Taylor Courtyard you can see Cavanaugh

0:00:47.300,0:00:52.989
Hall, Taylor Hall, The Business and SPEA building,
and across the street, the Tower Residence

0:00:52.989,0:00:54.640
Hall and Hine Hall.

0:00:54.640,0:00:57.090
Let’s head into Taylor Hall.

0:00:57.090,0:01:01.819
We’re now in Taylor Hall, home to University
College.

0:01:01.819,0:01:06.409
University College is where most students
will begin their academic journey, before

0:01:06.409,0:01:10.570
making the
transition into their degree-granting school.

0:01:10.570,0:01:15.860
University College offers a variety of resources
and services.

0:01:15.860,0:01:22.140
Most notably, Bridge Week, which is a program
designed for incoming freshmen to become familiar

0:01:22.140,0:01:27.729
with campus, receive academic support, and
meet their classmates before classes officially

0:01:27.729,0:01:30.460
start for the year.

0:01:30.460,0:01:35.380
After Bridge Week, all students continue into
a First-Year Seminar class.

0:01:35.380,0:01:40.649
The First-Year Seminar is a special course
that introduces students to key information

0:01:40.649,0:01:45.250
and skills needed to succeed at IUPUI.

0:01:45.250,0:01:51.240
Some First-Year Seminars are part of Learning
Communities, which connect two or more courses

0:01:51.240,0:01:54.100
by a common theme.

0:01:54.100,0:01:59.570
Students in Learning Communities get to take
multiple classes with the same group of students,

0:01:59.570,0:02:05.799
helping them make friends and build connections
while exploring real-world themes and taking

0:02:05.799,0:02:10.160
part in hands-on out of class activities.

0:02:10.160,0:02:16.070
University College also offers the Bepko Learning
Center and the Office for Academic and Career

0:02:16.070,0:02:21.570
Development, both resources designed to make
students successful in the classroom and once

0:02:21.570,0:02:22.980
they graduate.

0:02:22.980,0:02:28.700
The Multicultural Center is dedicated to engaging
everyone on campus to understand the values

0:02:28.700,0:02:32.330
of diversity, equity, and inclusion.

0:02:32.330,0:02:39.050
A quick crash course: Diversity illuminates
our differences and similarities, equity challenges

0:02:39.050,0:02:45.550
us to recognize the distribution of opportunities
and resources, and inclusion ensures that

0:02:45.550,0:02:49.450
every voice is represented and heard.

0:02:49.450,0:02:55.160
The MC can be seen around campus in Democracy
Plaza, discussion boards around campus are

0:02:55.160,0:03:01.010
used to discuss social justice and cultural
topics happening in the world, and Pass the

0:03:01.010,0:03:06.510
Mic events which offer an open forum for discussing
pressing issues.

0:03:06.510,0:03:14.850
The LGBTQ+ Center is in the same part of Taylor
Hall, the center advocates for the LGBTQ+

0:03:14.850,0:03:20.170
community and provides resources, education,
and training on campus and throughout the

0:03:20.170,0:03:21.850
community.

0:03:21.850,0:03:27.650
Now we’ll move on to the Four Corners of
Campus, where Taylor Hall connects with the

0:03:27.650,0:03:33.400
Business and SPEA building, University Library,
and the Education and Social Work building.
