The University of Indianapolis and Indiana Humanities invite you to attend the 2025 Richard M. Fairbanks Symposium on Civic Leadership. Serving as the tenth iteration of the event, “Civic Spirit: Religion and Leadership in Indianapolis” will feature conversations that consider the intersection of religion and civic engagement in the Circle City. The Fairbanks Symposium on Civic Leadership, which began in 2013, brings together local and national leaders to discuss and analyze vital issues facing our communities, linking the historical legacy of past leaders to current and future trends. Previous keynotes have included Senator Richard Lugar and then-South Bend Mayor Pete Buttigieg. The event is hosted by the University of Indianapolis Institute for Civic Leadership & Mayoral Archives, in partnership with Indiana Humanities. It is made possible through the generous support of the Richard M. Fairbanks Foundation. The symposium includes a buffet lunch and two panel discussions in addition to the keynote.
We need student Ambassador volunteers to assist us with registration check in, directing attendee to UIndy Hall locations, VIP parking management, and on -site only errands for organizers throughout the day's events. Department of History and Political Science t-shirts will be issued to volunteers to be worn during the event. Please let us know if you would be able to volunteer anything time from 1 hour to 4 hours for this event which will have various volunteer coverage needs from 8:45 AM to 2:30 PM.
Please RSVP with your interest.
Thanks!
