Brownsburg resident Darwin McCallian, an Indiana State University alumnus, has made a $1.2 million donation to the university’s Scott College of Business. The university said Tuesday the gift will primarily focus on bringing influential leaders and faculty to the college.
ISU said $225,000 of the gift will establish the Darwin McCallian Executive Leadership Forum Endowment, which plans to attract influential leaders to the business school. The remaining $1 million will establish the Darwin McCallian Endowed Professor of Business.
“As a university, we are fortunate to have thoughtful donors and alums, like Darwin, who truly care about our students’ future,” ISU President Deborah Curtis said in a news release. “The Darwin McCallian Executive Leadership Forum Endowment and Darwin McCallian Endowed Professor of Business will be fundamental pieces of our experiential learning process while providing valuable resources to the next generation of business leaders.”
McCallian graduated in 1975 with a bachelor’s degree in political science and economics from Indiana State.
After receiving his master’s degree from the University of Baltimore, he worked in various roles at the Social Security Administration, the Internal Revenue Service, the Justice Department and the Treasury Department before retiring in 2008.
