University of Southern Indiana President Ronald S. Rochon, PhD, has been named to the IBJ Media Indiana 250 list for the second year in a row. The list includes 250 of the most influential executives across the state in an array of economic sectors.
In its nomination process, IBJ Media, comprised of Indianapolis Business Journal (IBJ), Inside INdiana Business and Indiana Lawyer, looked for individuals statewide who make the biggest differences for Indiana’s economy and Hoosiers overall. Editors and publishers at IBJ, Inside INdiana Business and Indiana Lawyer reviewed nominations, researched Indiana organizations and talked with community members across the state to determine this year’s Indiana 250 class.
“I am deeply honored to be selected by IBJ Media to join this distinguished group for a second year,” says Rochon. “While I am profoundly humbled by this recognition, it belongs to my University community—their unwavering commitment and relentless pursuit of excellence is what propels USI toward greatness. It is a privilege to work alongside these individuals each and every single day.â€
Rochon will be recognized at an exclusive Indiana 250 reception featuring remarks from Brad Chambers, Indiana Commerce Secretary, on Thursday, July 20 at the Salesforce Tower in Indianapolis, Indiana.
“Our 2023 Indiana 250 list is chock full of private- and public-sector leaders who are making big impacts in their communities, in our state and even in our nation,†said IBJ Media CEO Nate Feltman. “We chose these leaders because they are doing inspiring work, and we want to share their stories so others can be inspired, too.â€
IBJ Media published profiles of the honorees in a magazine, available for purchase for $100 at Indiana250.com, which will be distributed with the July 21 issue of IBJ. All subscribers of IBJ, Inside INdiana Business and Indiana Lawyer can access the profiles and additional information online at Indiana250.com.
