 IU Trustee Pat Shoulders Honored For His Service
In honor of IU Trustee Pat Shoulders service for the last 20+ years, Indiana University recently named a memorial bench in his honor. Â Mr. Shoulders’ tenure as an IU Trustee will end on June 30, 2021.
MR. Shoulders, a partner with the Evansville law firm of Ziemer, Stayman, Weitzel, and Shoulders, was initially appointed an IU trustee in 2002 by Gov. Frank O’Bannon. He then was elected to the board by alumni in 2005, 2008, 2011, 2014, and again in 2017.
“I am honored that our alumni have chosen me to represent them over the years.” Shoulders also said. “Indiana University has a dedicated, highly accomplished board, and it is an honor to be part of it over the last 20 plus years. I’m especially pleased that I was on the board for the opening of the new medical education campus in downtown Evansville and for the celebration of the university’s 200th anniversary in 2020.”
In his final election to the Board Of Trustees “Trustee Shoulders compiled a remarkable record of service and dedication to Indiana University,” IU President Michael A. McRobbie said. “His passion and loyalty have been invaluable as the university has strengthened its commitment to excellence and its growing value to the state of Indiana.
