ABOUT THE NAMING OF THE DANIEL C. SMITH INTERNSHIP PROGRAM:
Under the leadership and direction of Dan Smith, the IU Foundations' former President and CEO, the IU Foundation was able to continue to support students financially and professionally despite the uncertainty of a global pandemic. Dan’s vision of this program is and has been to recruit and attract diverse fundraising talent. In honor and recognition of the ever-growing success of these interns and this program and with Dan’s retirement at the end of 2020, we officially re-named the summer internship program the Daniel C.
