Bloomington, Indiana – Indiana University President Michael A. McRobbie will be a familiar face at IU Athletics events throughout the 2019-20 season.
This will mark the second time Indiana University's first couple attend a home event for each of IU's athletic programs, having done so during the 2012-13 academic year as well.
That's because IU's president recently announced his plans to attend at least one home event of each of IU's 24 varsity sports during IU's Bicentennial year. His tour began Sunday, when he and First Lady Laurie Burns McRobbie were on hand for IU Field Hockey's match-up against Ohio State at the IU Field Hockey Complex.
The McRobbies have been regular attendees and supporters at Hoosier sporting events since he was introduced as IU's 18th president in 2007. He has also been a part of an era at Indiana University that has witnessed a transformation of IU's athletic facilities, including the construction of the North End Zone Student-Athlete Development Center, the D. Ames Shuel Academic Center, Bart Kaufman Field, the Andy Mohr Softball Field, Cook Hall, the renovated Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall, the enclosure of the South End Zone of Memorial Stadium, which is home to the Excellence Academy, Wilkinson Hall, The Pfau Course at Indiana University, and the soon to be completed renovations to Armstrong Stadium.This will mark the second time Indiana University's first couple attend a home event for each of IU's athletic programs, having done so during the 2012-13 academic year as well.
