Former Purdue President Martin Jischke spoke to a group of students and members of the Indianapolis media today at IUPUI, delivering an endorsement today on behalf of nine university and college presidents and chancellors.
Jischke announced that the presidents from Ball State University, Butler University, Indiana University, Ivy Tech Community College, Marian University, Martin Universiy, Purdue University, the University of Indianapolis, and the chancellor of IUPUI all have endorsed Wishard's plan to construct a new, modern and efficient hospital on the campus of IUPUI.
"Wishard is absolutely critical to life sciences and healthcare education here in Indiana," Jischke said. "I believe without a new Wishard our ability to continue to attract talented young people like those here today would be threatened."
As he spoke, Jischke was flanked by students from several of the universities whose presidents were endorsing the plan.
Jischke was also joined by Wishard Health Services CEO Dr. Lisa Harris and former Councilman King Ro Conley, who spoke briefly to the assembled students about Wishard and answered their questions.
