artin University was founded in 1977 by
Rev. Fr. Boniface Hardin, O.S.B and Sr.
Jane Edward Schilling, CSJ, to serve the
educational needs of low-income,
minority, and adult learners. Martin has
not abandoned its original mission, but
looks to include ALL who can benefit,
both traditional and non-traditional
students. Created in the midst of the inner city
barriers to academic success, Martin
offers opportunities for ordinary and
disenfranchised persons to change their
destinies through education.
The University is recognized as an
institution that offers access and
opportunity. Martin University is a
distinctive institution that is future-
oriented, interconnected, and student-
focused.
Marking its 38th year in 2015, Martin
University is Indiana's only
Predominately Black Institution of Higher
Education.

A LETTER FROM THE PRESIDENT
www.martin.edu www.martin.edu
Dear Martin Patrons and Supporters:
I am very pleased and proud to share this annual report with you. The 2015
calendar year has been a very productive one for the University. However,
none of our successes would have been possible without the financial
support, volunteer service, and continuous contributions of faculty, staff,
patrons, community funders and our Board of Trustees.
We completed and implemented our new three-year Strategic Plan. It was the
first formal act to transform our University. We now have the road map, the
goals, objectives and enabling activities to make tremendous progress over
the next three years. The finances are in the best shape of the last six years
and we are currently working to build our cash balance.
With the help of a grant from USA Funds, we have given the campus a
needed facelift. This included a new look for the main entry, seal coating the
parking lot, demolition of three vacant houses, and the addition of a new bus
shelter at 22nd Street and Avondale Place. We were also able to expand our
marketing and public relations activities.
Yes, 2015 was productive and very exciting, but its just the beginning. With
your continued support and involvement, 2016 will take us to a higher level of
success and progress. Please join us and stay "All In For Martin" in 2016.
Respectfully,
Eugene G. White, Ed.D., President

was filled with change, growth, purpose and a commitment to reach higher. Martin recognized its champions, celebrated great accomplishments, and endeavored to lead its students, its faculty and staff, and the community to reaching their goals. No small feat for Indiana's Only Predominately Black Institution for Higher Education, Martin reduced its deficit, resetting its course. The University also recognized some of its greatest champions, those who have supported the University over its 38 plus year history, including its surviving co-founder Sr. Jane Edward Schilling. Homecoming Week events, including the Annual President's Breakfast, were opportunities to regenerate, renew, and establish relationships both old and new.
Martin University, IUPUI, and University of Indianapolis Gospel Choirs
artin's primary focus has been to support its students in
ways other organizations often found little value, a place
to assist students in removing barriers to complete their
educational goals. In June of 2015, Martin received a
grant that bolstered its ability to enhance its student
support services programs.
The Drop-In Center, which opened in January 2015,
offers currently enrolled Martin students 4 hours of
childcare while attending classes at a minimal cost.
The Student Success Center is a popular resource for
Martin students. The Center received additional funding
to employ additional tutors, provide additional learning
tools, and as a compliment to the program, the
Convocation Series was reinstituted. The Convocation
Series provided and will continue to provide Martin
students with opportunities to learn from professionals
through the interactive lecture and skills development
series.
