Lugar Leadership Center To Open at University of Indianapolis

WISH TV 8:

"Developing new leaders for Indiana, the nation and the world is the reason for a new center at the University of Indianapolis and Indiana senator Richard Lugar is at the heart of it.

The Richard G. Lugar Center for Tomorrow's leaders will be a permanent home for an annual symposium that gathers Indiana's top high school juniors for discussions on public issues and world events. Senator Lugar started the symposium back in 1977 and it's been held at the University of Indianapolis every year.

'The idea is that there is a sense in which p[eople can give back, but they need to prepare for that. Think about that as a career choice to have opportunities to see it in action and those are the kinds of things we want to do with the center,' said University of Indianapolis President Dr. Beverly Pitts."
