Together, we can improve public health. It's imperative we take proactive measures that benefit all people, in all communities. We can use our resources to make a difference for all. We can do it through the success of our students and faculty and through the innovative nature of our ideas.

Legacy Society
The IU Richard M. Fairbanks School of Public Health was founded by the Richard M. Fairbanks Foundation to improve the health of the residents of Indiana, create a well-educated group of public health professionals and influence public policy through research. Our donors help continue the legacy of this initial gift by funding many of the important initiatives that set us apart and make our programs, research portfolio and student experiences special and one-of-a-kind.
The Fairbanks School of Public Health recognizes donors who demonstrate leadership with monetary gifts, through the Fairbanks Legacy Society. If you have questions about the Fairbanks Legacy Society or would like to receive more information, please contact Molly Overbey at 317-274-5144 or mmgiles@iu.edu.
