Bishop chosen as new trustee

Through an online election process, IU graduates chose MaryEllen Bishop to fill Sue Talbot’s position on the IU Board of Trustees.

A graduate of the Kelley School of Business and the IU School of Law-Indianapolis, Bishop served as national chair of the IU Alumni Association in 2007-08.

She also served on the steering committee for the Colloquium for Women of IU, on the board of visitors for the IU School of Law-Indianapolis and as alumni representative on the IU Athletics Committee.

In the election, Bishop received 3,773 of the 14,444 votes cast online from June 14 to 30.

“Three years ago, serving as the national chair for the IU Alumni Association made me realize how much I love this University,” Bishop said in an IU press release. “I am honored to be representing the alumni of this University, knowing the incredible things that the University is doing right now, and I’m thrilled to be a part of it. I would be very remiss if I didn’t say thank you to Dr. Sue Talbot for everything that she’s done for IU over so many years. She left big shoes to ever try to fill on the board.”
