Indiana in 1986. At the time of her appointment, she was the
first female vice president at any of Indiana's public

thirty years;

for both USI presidents, managed the identity transition of a
regional campus into a separate public university, created two

capital campaign that surpassed its goal by eight million
dollars;

Sherrianne Standley has served as president of the YWCA of
Evansville. She has also been on the steering committee of the
