Find end-of-season updates for swimming and diving and women’s basketball; explore with Sean Derry where art and innovation meet; and more

On May 17, IUP will mark 150 years since opening its doors to students as Indiana Normal School. Find out what’s planned throughout the year for this special anniversary celebration, and check out a new website that highlights key events.

The women’s basketball team advanced to the NCAA Division II Atlantic Region final before ending its season Monday night with a loss to Gannon. And last week, four Crimson Hawks competed in the NCAA DII Swimming and Diving Championships in Indianapolis. See all the results on the IUP Athletics website.

For IUP faculty member Sean Derry, finding innovative ways of making things is part of the challenge and the appeal of art. Learn more about him in this week’s Meet Our Faculty feature.
