WELCOME During the past several months, I’ve spent a lot of time talking to people both inside and outside the Paul H. O’Neill School of Public and Environmental Affairs about the previous half-century.

Fifty years is a long time, and I couldn’t be more honored to be the dean of the O’Neill School as we celebrate this milestone. From the day what was then known as “SPEA” was established on multiple IU campuses in 1972, the focus of everything that has been done at the school, from the administration to the faculty to the students and staff, has been about developing the next generation of leaders who could shape policy and provide solutions in an increasingly complex world.

Our success is recognized around the globe, and we sit atop U.S. News & World Report’s rankings of the best graduate schools for our public affairs program.

Our reputation wouldn’t be possible without the dedication and drive of our alumni, and I can’t thank you enough for all you do for the school and our students. The involvement of our alumni through giving or by taking part in our Mentor Collective or O’Neill Alumni Speakers Bureau has been critical to the growth of our school, and I encourage all our alumni to help those who are following the path you have pioneered.

Want to help in some other way? Be sure to contact our alumni relations office at oneillar@iu.edu to find out how your expertise can make a difference.

We also want to hear your stories! I know many of you have already shared your memories of your time at the O’Neill School while visiting our website celebrating our 50 years of changing the world, but if you haven’t had a chance yet, please visit 50.oneill.indiana.edu to contribute your story. Whether you provide your remembrance of a person, an event, or an inspiration that helped you on your path, or if you have a throwback photo to share, we would love to hear your story.

I’m also extremely proud of how our school continues to make a positive impact on society. Our faculty, students, and alumni are helping to shape the future of Ukraine and Vietnam, addressing issues surrounding pollution, impacting the arts, healthcare, and criminal justice system, and more. Be sure to check out all the features in this magazine—and we’re just getting started.

Once again, thank you for all that you do. Our first 50 years couldn’t have been the unbridled success they have been without you.

Celebrating 50 years

BY KEN BIKOFF On the afternoon of January 14, 1972, a press release from Indiana University announced the establishment of a force that would change the world.

“A School of Public and Environmental Affairs for Indiana University was approved here today by the Indiana Commission for Higher Education,” read the IU news release. “It will have primarily a problem-solving, public service, and inter-disciplinary character.”

The announcement was the culmination of years of work to reorganize activities on campus to better serve the state and prepare students for a future that was changing. The idea originated in the mid-1960s when a “Center for the Study of the Human Environment” was proposed during a Science Advisory Committee meeting. The proposal focused on collaborative education to solve problems created by human activity.

The idea remained as the IU administration saw a flurry of leadership changes,

but the arrival of John Ryan as IU president in fall 1970 pushed the previously shelved proposal to the forefront.

“There was considerable concern among faculty, staff, and students that we needed to make the university relevant to solving the problems of the real world,” Charles “Chuck” Bonser said during the 40th anniversary celebration of the school.

Bonser, who was associate dean of the IU School of Business, was tapped to serve as founding dean for SPEA. Charles Wise was appointed the first faculty member of the school, and after finding an administrative home in the Poplars Building, the school welcomed its first cohort of students in fall 1972. Classes were held in Ballantine Hall, and SPEA initially offered bachelor’s and master’s degrees in public affairs, an associate of science degree, and a host of nondegree programs.

SPEA also was established on other IU campuses, including a location at IUPUI, and quickly attracted real-world experts from public and environmental roles to its faculty.

“We have to get across to students preparing for careers in public affairs that they must learn to keep up with what’s current and learn to separate the important material from that which is not so important,” said Richard Howe, one of the first faculty members hired by the school.

A Master of Science in Environmental Science was established in 1975, and a Ph.D. in Public Policy program was put in place in 1978. Ground was broken in September 1978 for a building to house the IU School of Business and SPEA on the IUPUI campus.

Enrollment began to take off. In 1975, 607 students were enrolled in undergraduate courses, and by 1979, that number more than doubled to 1,333.

Meanwhile, in Bloomington, a new, four-story SPEA building was planned for the center of campus featuring a courtyard connected to the Business School, a shared underground library, and hanging gardens on the terrace of each level.

Despite being a relatively young school, SPEA was getting noticed by its peers.

In 1980, the school was singled out by the National Association of Schools of Public Affairs and Administration (NASPAA) as being a model graduate program for other schools.

“Indiana University, through its School of Public and Environmental Affairs, has accepted the challenge of conceiving, designing, and managing a singular

program for the differing needs of various parts of the state of Indiana,” a NASPAA report read. “It has done so in a fashion which maintains quality, assures transferability of student work, and standardizes the meaning of the degree while serving well the various clienteles.”

A NASPAA poll of its 250 member schools during this same time saw SPEA

rank first in published research and fourth in overall peer prestige.

SPEA celebrated its 10th anniversary with the opening of its new home and a yearlong celebration. The school had grown from 25 students in the first graduating class to 351 in 1982, and the number of faculty more than doubled from 41 to 90 in that same span.

In 1987, founding dean Bonser stepped down and A. James Barnes, former deputy administrator for the United States Environmental Protection Agency, was selected as the new dean. Under Barnes’ leadership, SPEA was selected as the Midwestern Regional Center for the U.S. Department of Energy’s National Institute for Global Environmental Change to address the growing discussion of climate change.

In 1994, the School of Public and Environmental Affairs at both IU Bloomington and IUPUI played critical roles in

1972

the Parliamentary Development Project for Ukraine, a partnership with the country that has grown over time. The Center on Urban Policy and the Environment also was established at IUPUI. Enrollment continued to expand, and when SPEA celebrated its 25th anniversary in 1997, it included more than 100 full-time faculty, 600 graduate students, and 1,600 undergraduate students, making it the largest school of its kind.

The school also reached No. 3 in U.S. News & World Report’s rankings of “America’s Top Graduate Schools” in 1998, the highest-ranked graduate program at IU that year.

“We are delighted, of course, that the quality of the program we have put together is recognized,” said Barry Rubin, the associate dean of graduate programs in Bloomington. “In our 25-year existence, we have made strides in developing a program that is nationally ranked.

Jayma Meyer, BSPA’75 Jayma Meyer was in the first graduating class of the O’Neill School.

“At that time, the school was still figuring out who to be. I too was trying to figure who to be, having just finished a swimming career that consumed four hours a day, six days a week,” said Meyer. “I immediately felt right at home when I went to my first meeting with the faculty in the Poplars Building in a room with a swimming pool covered with boards. I watched with great joy the evolution of the school to having its own building and then to expanding the building with the generous support of Paul O’Neill.

“The O’Neill School’s emphasis on solving public problems inspired and gave me skills to tackle consumer protection and antitrust problems and gender equity issues in sports for the greater good—to dream big!”

Since 2015, Meyer has taught sports law and public policy as a visiting clinical professor at the O’Neill School.

Pam Matson, MSES’80 Pam Matson served as dean of Stanford University’s School of Earth, Energy and Environmental Sciences from 2002–17.

She is now an active emeritus professor and senior fellow at the Stanford Woods Institute for the Environment.

As a student she loved being able to take courses in ecosystem ecology and geomorphology alongside economics and systems modeling. She values the O’Neill School’s engagement in both the science and practice of environment and sustainability challenges. She always recommends the O’Neill School to her students.

“In many ways, the O’Neill School set me on the path that I am still on today—as an interdisciplinary, systems thinker who understands the pursuit of sustainability solutions requires an understanding of not just one part of the complex social-environmental systems in which we live, but of all the interconnected parts,” Matson said. “A new policy or a new technology or a new management approach alone won’t help much; we need systemic change.”

Our faculty have been very productive as researchers and scholars.”

After leading the school for 12 years, Barnes stepped down as dean in 2000.

Barnes’ ability to recruit fresh faculty talent had encouraged interdisciplinary collaboration and expanded SPEA’s footprint at IU and on national and global scales.

“I feel very good about the school’s position,” Barnes said. “We are in company with Harvard and Princeton, so we have good people and good programs.

I think it makes sense to turn it over to someone else at this point.”

That someone else was Astrid Merget, a former senior advisor to the secretary of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services during the Jimmy Carter and Bill Clinton administrations.

“I know both Barnes and Bonser,” Merget said. “My vision builds on their visions. Each advanced the school significantly to a position of national recognition.

1982

July 24, 1982: The School of Public and Environmental Affairs moves out of the Poplars Research and Conference Center and into its new home on E. Tenth Street. The building includes four floors, a library that connects it to the expanded School of Business building, and hanging gardens on the terraces.

My goal is to capitalize on their vision and project the school into the 21st century.”

She did just that, and in 2004, SPEA continued to be ranked No. 3 in the country by the U.S. News & World Report.

Several programs both at IU Bloomington and IUPUI were highly ranked, including No. 1 rankings for the nonprofit management program and environmental policy and management program.

Merget grew the school’s program portfolio, including the arts administration program, and helped solidify SPEA’s reputation with the Journal of Policy Analysis and Management editorship. The school’s overseas education program grew via a partnership with the University of Oxford.

Merget stepped down as dean in 2007, and in 2008, John D. Graham, a former top official with the White House Office of Management and Budget, was named the school’s fourth dean. He

quickly established a Dean’s Council that included respected leaders from business, government, and the nonprofit sector. He also expanded SPEA’s overseas education programs to include Germany, Spain, China, and other locations.

The whole world noticed SPEA in 2009 when Elinor Ostrom, a SPEA professor and Arthur F. Bentley Professor

1988

of Political Science in the IU College of Arts and Sciences, became the first woman honored with the Nobel Prize in Economic Sciences.

By the time SPEA celebrated its 40th anniversary, its reputation was known the world over.

“It’s widely admired nationally,” said then-IU President Michael A. McRobbie.

“It is one of the academic jewels in the university’s crown.”

SPEA continued to rise in the U.S. News & World Report rankings, sharing the No. 2 overall spot with Harvard’s Kennedy School in 2011, and the school ranked No. 1 in environmental policy and management and in nonprofit management. Meanwhile, the Civic Leaders

Living Learning Center was established at Briscoe Quadrangle in 2012.

SPEA made headlines in March 2014 when Paul O’Neill, who earned his MPA from IU in 1966 and was former Secretary of the Treasury under President George W. Bush, gave a $3 million gift, the largest private donation in the school’s history to that point, to partially fund a new graduate

center. The three-story structure would change the face of SPEA and revision the courtyard between the SPEA building and the Kelley School of Business. David and Cecile Wang donated $1 million to name the second-floor study and meeting space.

SPEA reached a major milestone in 2016 when U.S. News & World Report’s ranking of the best graduate schools listed SPEA in the top spot. The MPA ranked No. 1, and specializations in environmental policy and management, nonprofit management, and public finance and budgeting ranked No. 1 as well.

“This is a momentous day for Indiana University and for SPEA,” Graham said.

“To be ranked as the top program in the nation, ahead of legendary programs such as Harvard and Princeton, is a crowning achievement for our faculty and staff.”

In honor of a $30 million gift, the school was renamed the Paul H. O’Neill School of Public and Environmental Affairs in

2019. The gift provides support for the Paul H. O’Neill Center on Leadership in Public Service; a dean’s initiatives fund; three faculty chair positions; five professorships; a fellowship program for master’s, doctoral, and postdoctoral students; and a scholarship program, which will continue in perpetuity.

“I am honored to now have the opportunity to give back to this exemplary institution, which means so much to me,” O’Neill said. “My hope is that the school remains a place of excellence where future leaders can combine passion with action and develop the confidence they need to engage with society’s greatest challenges and opportunities.”

Graham stepped down as dean in 2019, and was followed by Siân Mooney, Arizona State University associate dean for interdisciplinary programs and initiatives.

The integration of economics, finite mathematics, statistics, and public finance prepared him to join Ford Motor Company as a statistical analyst. After nearly three decades of working in the automotive industry, he decided to shift his career and launch a nonprofit foundation to work with youth transitioning out of the foster care system.

“The support provided by the O’Neill School has been nothing short of tremendous, leading the foundation to become an award-winning entity with a proven track record of success,” Arbuckle said. “This was accomplished by participating in various workshops and collaborating with students and professors on projects.”

Arbuckle made lifelong connections with other students as well as with faculty, staff, and alumni. He said, “The moral of my story … get engaged, stay engaged … it’s truly rewarding!”

Michael S. Russo, BSPA’84 Michael Russo is the director of global security at Eli Lilly and Company in Indianapolis and is responsible for the physical security of all company facilities in Europe, the Middle East, Africa, and Asia Pacific, as well as the safety of Lilly travelers and expatriate employees. He also leads investigations into counterfeit, stolen, and diverted drugs in those areas.

Russo was an O’Neill student in Indianapolis in the ’80s when the school was still establishing itself both within IU and nationally. But it was clear to him that the O’Neill School was destined for greatness.

“The O’Neill School benefitted and enhanced my career,” said Russo. “It exposed me to diverse thought, taught me the benefits of listening, and gave me the confidence and skills necessary to work on complex problems and better understand and collaborate with people across the globe. I had several professors who made the school a wonderful place to learn.”

service to society,” Mooney said. “The O’Neill School’s alumni have a long record of leadership and accomplishments, creating and implementing public policies that make a positive difference for Indiana and beyond.”

The O’Neill School continued to make headlines, including O’Neill School Distinguished Professor David Audretsch being named a Clarivate Citation Laureate. The school also established a chapter of the NextGen Leadership Program to develop leadership skills and public service interest in students.

During its 50 years, the O’Neill School has become one of the most respected institutions in the nation and the world.

Its reputation has been built on stable leadership, visionary faculty, and driven students who have taken the lessons learned in the classroom and applied them to solve complex problems to make a difference for the greater good.

O’Neill in global affairs

BY KEN BIKOFF A history with Ukraine When Ukraine broke away from the former Soviet Union in the early 1990s, the Paul H. O’Neill School of Public and Environmental Affairs took an active role in shaping the newly sovereign country, including helping to draft its constitution. Professor Emeritus Charles Wise led the effort with the U.S. Agency for International Development-funded Parliamentary Development Project.

The relationship has deepened over the years with O’Neill faculty serving as consultants for the Ukrainian parliament, aiding in legislative reform to curb corruption, and helping to develop and implement academic programs at the National University of Kyiv-Mohyla Academy.

The Russian invasion of Ukraine has severely damaged the infrastructure of the country and thrown the future of Ukraine into turmoil. What’s next from day-to-day is an ongoing open question, but Professor Robert Kravchuk, an expert in Russian and Ukrainian public administration and political economy, says the school has the opportunity to play a critical role in assisting, rebuilding, and reshaping Ukraine when the time is right.

14 O’Neill Onward | Fall 2022

“This is going to take potentially hundreds of billions of dollars’ worth of infrastructure investment,” Kravchuk said. “That’s just the physical structure.

Then, there’s the brain drain. There’s an estimate that some 12 million Ukrainians have been displaced from their homes, and 7 million have left the country.

Some of them aren’t going to come back.

Universities have been decimated.

“That’s an area where the O’Neill School can help. First is general help in reestablishing the higher-education system in Ukraine. We can help them with subject matter and curriculum and building capacity of educators. Higher education is an area where we can have a lasting and important impact. We also can help develop specific skills to create the trained cadre of public administrators and policy analysts that will be sorely needed.”

Beyond the educational realm, the O’Neill School can make an impact from an environmental standpoint.

“There is nothing dirtier on this planet than a battlefield,” Kravchuk said. “People who serve in combat, if they’re in pitched battles for extended periods of time, they will test as having excessive levels of lead in their systems because of all the expended gunpowder. They will breathe it in. It will

get on their skin and in their eyes. You have fires with synthetic materials burning.

That’s a clear issue. But then all that stuff is in the ground now. It’s in the water. In urban settings, there is pulverized concrete and other materials. And you have unexploded ordinance that buries itself in the ground and will explode.

“Detonating and defusing ordinance is not what we do at the O’Neill School, but we know something about environmental cleanup. It’s an area that I think is readymade for our environmental science and policy colleagues to have almost immediate impact. It will be a massive land reclamation project. It’s a humanitarian issue, and we can bring our expertise to bear.”

“There is nothing dirtier on this planet than a battlefield.”

In fact, O’Neill faculty members are already putting their research expertise to work and will continue to do so in the years to come.

“This war is a tragedy,” Kravchuk said. “But so much of what we do at the

O’Neill School is going to be directly applicable to the aftermath of this war, and some of the research that already is being conducted here will go hand-inglove regarding the effects of this conflict on flora and fauna. We’ll have an opportunity to make a difference.”

Helping the Ukrainian people The ongoing conflict in Ukraine continues to be fluid, and perspectives about what is happening abound. One fact that cannot be argued is that there is an active humanitarian crisis in the region.

There are various ways you can help, but providing effective help isn’t always straightforward.

Professor Beth Gazley has some tips to find and support charities involved in Ukraine humanitarian relief. First and foremost, avoid impulse giving. Take the time to research organizations to ensure your donation is going to a reputable cause. Understanding where the most help is needed—and which organizations have the experience and relationships to be effective—will maximize your gift.

It’s also critical to prioritize cash donations over goods because cash is flexible and doesn’t spoil. Be sure to consider supporting advocacy and independent media organizations as well as direct relief organizations. Finally, reach out to experts you may know, such as O’Neill faculty, who might be able to provide unbiased guidance on how you can help.

Master of International Affairs For a half-century, the O’Neill School has been educating the next generation of leaders when it comes to public policy and the environment, which means our graduates are shaping the world.

O’Neill’s Master of International Affairs program, a joint effort with the Hamilton Lugar School of Global and International Studies, provides students the practical skills and in-depth knowledge to succeed in internationally

oriented careers. The program is perfect for students looking to get involved with government at the national level within development agencies, ministries of foreign affairs, ministries of defense, intelligence agencies, environmental agencies, and international trade offices as well as globally oriented departments at the state and local levels.

Making a difference in Vietnam Since 2014, Professor Anh Tran has been working with senior government officials in Vietnam to highlight how the Vietnamese government could better serve its citizens. In 2021, those efforts led to the United States Agency for International Development awarding the Partnership for Higher Education Reform to Indiana University to support inclusive economic opportunities for nearly 150,000 Vietnamese students in support of a strong, prosperous, and independent Vietnam as a vital U.S. partner.

The five-year, $14.2 million project tapped Tran and Teshome Alemneh, associate vice president for international research and development and head of IU’s Office of International Development, to be the leaders of the effort. The project is partnering with Vietnam National University—Hanoi, Vietnam National University—Ho Chi Minh City, and the University of Da Nang.

“For Vietnam, modernizing higher education will upskill its labor force, allowing Vietnam to enter more high-tech industries and achieve higher economic growth in the future,” said Tran, who also serves as an economic advisor to the prime minister of Vietnam.

The project’s strategy centers on four key programs: governance, teaching and learning, research, and universityindustry linkages. Core activities will strengthen university governance and financial systems, provide faculty training in designing state-of-the-art courses, facilitate research collaborations and

expanded research capacity, and develop guidelines and incentives for prosperous partnerships between universities and the private sector.

In addition to the four focus areas, cross-cutting strategies around highereducation policy advocacy and reform, technology and digitization, and gender empowerment will support the long-term sustainability of project outcomes. The initiative also supports the Vietnamese government in examining the current higher-education policy environment and seeking ways to institutionalize reforms.

BY KEN BIKOFF Shaw co-authors update to The Lancet Planetary Health Report Joseph Shaw, the associate dean for research and an associate professor at the O’Neill School, contributed to The Lancet Planetary Health Report that showed that pollution was responsible for more than 9 million deaths in 2019—equivalent to 1-in-6 deaths worldwide.

The report—an update to The Lancet Commission on pollution and health report published in 2017—states that although researchers have seen decreases in the number of deaths from pollution sources associated with extreme poverty, such as indoor air pollution and water pollution, these reductions are offset by increased deaths attributable to industrial pollution, such as ambient air pollution and chemical pollution. The result is a number virtually unchanged since the last analysis. This atrocity is compounded by the fact that more than 90% 16 O’Neill Onward | Fall 2022

of pollution’s impact is felt in low- and middle-income countries.

Shaw is an expert on toxic chemical pollution and is helping develop precision toxicology approaches as part of a consortium of U.S. and European organizations called PrecisionTox. Those approaches can help reduce deaths from modern pollution by improving methods for identifying and mapping toxic chemicals in the environment.

“Our update makes it clear that the world desperately needs solutions.”

“The initial report in 2017 was a gamechanger in terms of raising awareness about the magnitude of the health and humanitarian crisis caused by pollution,”

Shaw said. “Our update makes it clear that the world desperately needs solutions that take into account the way the various sources of pollution make an impact on the health of humans around the world or else gains in one area will continue to be offset by tragedies in others.”

Just Energy podcast The focus on the future of energy tends to center on new technologies or ways resources can be used more efficiently.

But the Just Energy podcast, hosted by O’Neill School Professor Sanya Carley, expands beyond the how and what of energy to look at the human dimensions of the future of energy.

The nine-episode podcast, which was recorded in collaboration with Master of Public Affairs students last spring, explores topics that include energy injustice, its racial and social dimensions, and how to make future energy policy more inclusive by design. Guests include leaders and scholars who have devoted their

careers to studying and improving the energy conditions facing marginalized and underrepresented groups as well as experts conducting cutting-edge research in the field, and speaks to issues of social equity, racism, and public health.

“While we like to think about the winners produced by our energy systems, such as those who install new solar panels, the sources of loss, specifically the people who bear the burden of loss, are often ignored,” said Carley. “Our energy systems are built on the backbone of vulnerable populations, including those who work in legacy fossil fuel industries, such as coal miners, and those who reside next to power plants. There is an immense need to highlight their stories and discuss how to improve energy conditions for these vulnerable populations, and that’s what Just Energy is all about.”

O’Neill faculty part of IU’s new Climate Action Planning Committee Indiana University has established a Climate Action Planning Committee tasked with developing comprehensive recommendations to identify short- and long-term opportunities to reduce the impact of greenhouse gas emissions from its various campuses and units, and the O’Neill School will play a critical role in shaping the committee’s plans.

Three faculty members—Dean Siân Mooney, Associate Professor James Farmer, and Clinical Associate Professor Sarah Mincey—will join Bloomington MPA student Alana Maria Davincino and IUPUI BSPA student Aspen Grieshaber on the committee to identify strategies that will continue carbon emission reduction.

During the past decade, IU Bloomington has reduced its greenhouse gas emissions by 38%, and much of this progress has been related to investments in renovation and rehabilitation of existing infrastructure. It also is a result of an established

commitment to building design standards set forward by the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design certification system, known as LEED. Beyond facilities, the new committee will look for opportunities for the university to improve in areas such as energy use and production, space planning and management, use of university vehicles and transportation, woodland campus planning, retro-commissioning of buildings and infrastructure, exploration of renewable energy and other new technologies, and several other areas.

White House Climate Change Roundtable When it comes to countering the arguments for delaying action on climate change, the O’Neill School has a seat at the table at the highest levels of government.

Literally.

Associate Professor Shahzeen Attari was part of a group of 17 climate and social scientists, engineers, and economists to participate in the White House Climate Science Roundtable, a first-ofits-kind virtual gathering that brought together experts to discuss the topic of “climate delayism” and its associated planetary, financial, and societal risks and costs. The event, hosted by the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy, focused on strategies to accelerate effective actions that can combat climate change.

Attari presented research on the ideological divides surrounding the issue of climate changes, including a shift away from fossil fuels.

“Our prior work finds that conservatives and liberals have a shared vision for a decarbonized energy mix for the year 2050, but they do not agree on the policy pathways of getting there,” Attari said.

“Given these results, we need to identify narratives for climate action and solutions that will appeal to conservatives to foster swift decarbonization today.”

IUPUI’s new degree in sustainability practice and policy The O’Neill School at IUPUI has introduced three new undergraduate majors for fall 2022, including a BSPA in Sustainability Practice and Policy.

Students studying sustainability will gain foundational knowledge and understanding of sustainable management, environmental policy, and urban affairs. Sustainability electives in the curriculum will allow students to take classes with other schools at IUPUI. They’ll examine the latest sustainability topics from all angles and learn from industry experts and scholars while earning credentials to immediately make an impact in our communities.

Jessica Davis, MPA’16, IU interim university director of sustainability and director of IUPUI Sustainability, was a key member of the team that designed the curriculum.

“I’m thrilled that the O’Neill School will not only teach these real-world skills but also excited to know that students will be mentored and empowered to leave a legacy of sustainability right here on campus,” said Davis, who will serve as an adjunct faculty member for the degree. “Some of IUPUI’s best sustainability initiatives come from our students.”

Highlighting student internships

BY COLIN KULPA When summer comes around, many O’Neill students look for ways they can get life-changing, hands-on experience in their career fields. Whether that means contributing to international business decisions, shaping a city’s sustainability plans, or making the “Greatest Spectacle in Racing” cleaner and greener, O’Neill students spend their summers learning and leading across Indiana and the world.

Mary Claire Noble at Indianapolis Motor Speedway | Colin Kulpa

18 O’Neill Onward | Fall 2022

Mary Claire Noble A graduate student in the MPA-MSES program, Mary Claire Noble was a McKinney Climate Fellow at Penske Entertainment, the parent company of the Indianapolis Motor Speedway (IMS) and the IndyCar Series.

“I’m an IndyCar fan, myself,” Noble said. “I grew up in Indianapolis, and the month of May was like Christmas for my family. … I saw that IMS was an option and they wanted to do sustainability, and I was like, ‘what an opportunity to combine my passion and put skills that I know to work.’”

Noble’s projects included tracking emissions data for IndyCar and IMS. IndyCar analyzes the data, which is also submitted to the Council for Responsible Sport. The organization awards ratings to sporting events that meet social and environmental responsibility goals, including the men’s and women’s NCAA Final Four and the MLB All-Star Game.

IMS achieved a silver rating for the 2021 Indianapolis 500.

“It’s tying together those things that are so important to McKinney—sustainability, as well as equity and diversity,” Noble said. “The Council for Responsible Sport really makes sure that you’re checking all of those boxes, and you’re becoming an accessible place for everyone, no matter where their background is.”

Noble helped to shape the future of sustainability in IndyCar and at IMS with a procurement policy. IMS also donated nearly 4,000 pounds of food to Indianapolis-area food banks during the month of May through a food waste diversion program.

The team worked with Shell to develop a 100% renewable racing fuel, made from food waste like sugar cane, which IndyCar will use in 2023. Additionally, the team worked with Firestone to develop a tire made of more sustainable guayule rubber, which made its competition debut in August at the Music City Grand Prix in Nashville, Tennessee.

As a fan, it’s important for Noble to help IndyCar and IMS move toward a sustainable future.

“It was one of those things of, ‘what can I do here to help their mission of being a greener place?’” said Noble. “And in setting that standard of being the best, most sustainable venue, and being the most sustainable sport? What does that look like? And how can they get there?”

Barbara Dale For Barbara Dale, also an MPA-MSES student, the O’Neill School’s Greater Good Internship Fund supported her work as a McKinney Fellow for the city of South Bend, Indiana. As part of the Resilience Cohort through the Environmental Resilience Institute, she is helping South Bend plan for a sustainable future.

The Greater Good Internship Fund helps students who accept an unpaid or lowpaying internship. Up to 25 scholarships of $1,200 are awarded each summer to students at O’Neill. Her fellowship has been extended from a 10-week summer internship through December 2022, giving her more time to work on projects she started this summer.

In South Bend, Dale works on climate action planning, communications, and finance. “My original focus was updating the city’s Climate Action Plan,” said Dale. “However, South Bend’s 20-year comprehensive plan is also being updated. We are working beyond our individual department’s plan to weave environmental justice principles into the comprehensive plan and across city initiatives.”

Dale updated South Bend’s Climate Action Plan website to grow the program and climate education, collected public feedback through a survey she designed, and researched funding opportunities for initiatives like energy efficiency and solar energy.

“Looking forward, how do we sustain the sustainability department, financially?” Dale said. “I’m looking into federal grants that are coming down the pike from the infrastructure bill, for example, and trying to do some internal organizing to find good fits for the city’s needs.”

Dale completed a summer course in finance and budgeting, which helped her combine O’Neill academic experience with hands-on work in a city government. Her final project for the class enumerated costs and benefits associated with urban tree canopy in South Bend, and this document will help inform future forestry planning efforts in the city.

Benjamin Blythe Benjamin Blythe, working toward an MPA, received Greater Good funding to take an internship with the U.S. Association of Southeast Asian Nations Business Council (ASEAN).

U.S. ASEAN facilitates U.S. business in Southeast Asian countries including Thailand and Singapore and helps advocate for the 10 countries it represents to over 160 major U.S. companies. Blythe worked with multiple portfolios during his time with the council, including those covering ASEAN and Singapore, as well as the energy and sustainability industries.

“We just released an annual update that I helped draft regarding the changes in the cabinet, which were overall pretty minor, but had big implications for Singapore’s future leadership, their future prime minister, as well as their kind of political position, which is hedging more towards maintaining stability, as the globe really faces a continued era of instability,” said Blythe.

He said he appreciates how the MPA program has guided his ability to work in the policy field and how his internship helped him improve his policy writing skills and experience.

“It will continue to not only improve my writing and develop it for my career, but also continue to shape my interest in how I analyze political issues beyond the high-flying rhetoric that you get when you work in international policy,” Blythe said. “You’re looking at mechanisms, you’re looking at structures, and how the text of not just the summaries, but also the actual laws and those analyses impact the implementation. I give a lot of credit to O’Neill for making sure that’s a focus.”

Blythe sees himself continuing to work in international affairs in the public sector after he completes his O’Neill degree, with a particular focus on international public-private sector interaction in East Asia and the Indo-Pacific region.

Gifts in honor of our 50th

Glenn Montgomery with fiancé Marie Sweeney and Bonser Scholarship recipients

Gretchen Gutman, MPA’87

Glenn Montgomery, MSES’77

Solving tough public policy problems is where Gretchen Gutman found meaning and purpose. So, it was not surprising that she found her way into the O’Neill School in the mid-1980s. Gutman felt energized by constantly questioning the system and learning and growing with her fellow classmates.

That passion has served her in roles in state and local government, as well as in academia. She added a law degree from the IU McKinney School of Law in Indianapolis, became a partner in the law firm of Taft Stettinius & Hollister, and, for the past nine years, has been vice president of public policy at Cook Group.

She still relies on the lessons learned at the O’Neill School to be the foundation of her professional life.

“I knew that communication was critical to whatever career direction I was going to go,” Gutman said. “The O’Neill School had a strong component of that woven into its classes. It was an opportunity for me to learn how to solve tough public policy issues, and it taught me the analytical skills people need every single day. The training I received while at O’Neill has served me well. I was prepared to take advantage of opportunities.”

Gutman also is looking forward to what current O’Neill students will accomplish.

“The O’Neill School is always finding the nooks and crannies for students in public policy,” Gutman said. “I think that it will continue to excel and be No. 1. I’m looking forward to watching that and being as supportive of that effort as I possibly can.”

In honor of the school’s 50th anniversary, Gutman made a contribution to name the Gutman Room in the O’Neill School Graduate Center.

Being in the first graduating class of Master of Science of Environmental Science students at the O’Neill School provided a very focused direction for Glenn Montgomery. An entrepreneur at heart, Montgomery liked the idea of seeing where the MSES degree could take him in the private sector. His path forward was mapped with the aid of key MSES professors and his mentor, the school’s founding dean, Chuck Bonser. So, at the school’s 50th anniversary, he could think of no better way to honor Bonser than to make a sizeable contribution to the Charles F. Bonser Scholarship, a scholarship he founded in 1996.

He says the school invested in him, and now he wishes to return the investment made by Dean Bonser and others. “I want to pay it forward through the Bonser Scholarship,” Montgomery said. “I think more alumni should really consider the opportunity to give back to the school to make it a better place with more opportunities for our next generation of leaders.”

Based on the skills he learned in analytical modeling and geographic information systems as a graduate student, Montgomery founded multiple companies all of which he eventually combined into Convergent Group, later acquired by a Fortune 100 company.

Today, he calls La Jolla, California, home. He spends his time writing, traveling, mentoring young entrepreneurs, sailing in the Pacific, and trekking and hiking around the globe.

Montgomery says the O’Neill School will play a critical role in graduating leaders who will shape the world during the next 50 years and beyond. He believes a graduate education from the O’Neill School is truly a global asset that can be taken anywhere.

He still remembers the very first meeting SPEA held in 1971 to introduce the new school to prospective students.

Greg Lindsay, MPA’76, met Dean Bonser in 1972 as SPEA was moving into the upper floors of the Poplars Hotel where he was employed as a reservationist. Determined to pursue a career in public service, Lindsay started at SPEA

Distinguished Alumni Service Awards

in the fall of 1974. With encouragement from Dean Bonser, Lindsay applied for a management internship with NASA and went to Washington, D.C., for the summer of 1975. That internship led to a 35-year career at NASA headquarters where he worked on many of its major programs.

“I have always felt indebted to Dean Bonser for his encouragement and support during my time at SPEA,” he said.

“Even during the early years of the school, you could see that the vision was there and shared by the faculty and students.”

A few years ago, Lindsay and his wife returned to IU after many years. He was amazed at the new school building.

“The students have no idea what it was like to go to the library in the basement of the Poplars Building,” he said. “It did have an advantage though—you could walk out the back door of the library, cross the alley and walk into the back of Nick’s. Not a bad place to be after a hard night of studying.”

After raising two sons in Northern Virginia and retiring from NASA in 2010, Lindsay and his wife moved to Leland, North Carolina, in 2015 and now enjoy the beaches, golf, tennis, and pickleball.

Tenecia Waddell-Pyle BSCJ’16 Tenecia Waddell-Pyle has had a career evolution. She worked in corrections and was a police officer when she began classes at O’Neill IUPUI. But she knew an O’Neill Criminal Justice degree would lay the groundwork for the next phase of her career, and she soon found her courses would lead her down an entirely new path toward making a difference.

“Being at O’Neill taught me tangible skills, how to think more deeply, navigate spaces with practical experience, and how to create change systemically,” Waddell-Pyle said.

Six years after earning her O’Neill degree, she’s now in a career dedicated to diversity, equity, and inclusion as the first DEI director at MyPath—an organization providing educational, therapeutic, and community support for children and adults with disabilities, mental health issues, and other significant needs.

“The marriage between my years in law enforcement, my education, and my lived experience has helped me to create and change systems,” she said. “I want to stay in this DEI space and see how I can grow here while helping others.”

As I thought through how I could continue to support the O’Neill School of Public and Environmental Affairs well past what I am doing now, I included the school in my estate planning to ensure future support of students at O’Neill.

I wanted my contributions to continue well beyond my time and to support students pursuing degrees in public affairs, public finance, and public administration. I know firsthand that students seek out the O’Neill School for its reputation and the impact our graduates have on government organizations, not-for-profit groups, and other impactful entities. To lock in future support of O’Neill students with additional scholarships helps me know that IU and the O’Neill School will continue to support and produce high-quality students who will make an impact globally.

I highly encourage any O’Neill graduate to consider adding the school to your estate planning to ensure your support will continue well into the future.

Jason Dudich BSPA’01, Public Financial Management Vice President, CFO, and Treasurer University of Indianapolis

Honor ROLL The O’Neill School’s status as an academic leader is due, in part, to the generous support of alumni, friends, and organizations who invest in the future of the school. The O’Neill School would like to thank and recognize the donors of 2021.
