The Lilly Endowment Inc. has announced it’s awarded more than $300 million to 13 colleges and universities in Indiana. The funds will be used to support projects developed by the institutions with local stakeholders to improve the quality of life in their communities.
The five-year implementation grants, ranging from more than $12 million to $32 million each, are part of the Lilly Endowment’s College and Community Collaboration program. Last December, that program granted a total of $145.8 million to six Indiana colleges and universities to support similar local community development projects.
The grants are awarded through a competition “designed to encourage Indiana’s colleges and universities to work closely with community stakeholders to envision and jointly undertake significant community development efforts—beneficial to both the institution and community—to create more vibrant places in which to live, learn, work and play.”
Here is a summary of the 13 projects receiving the new round of grants.
- Butler University in Indianapolis received a $22.5 million grant to partially fund enhancements to the quality of life and place in Midtown Indianapolis, a 12-square-mile area that includes Butler and surrounding neighborhoods.
- Calumet College of St. Joseph in Whiting was given a $15 million grant to strengthen economic opportunities and quality of life in northwest Indiana. The grant will help support efforts to create new community gathering places, enhance recreational and athletic facilities, and improve public transportation connections for students, faculty, staff and residents in the area.
- DePauw University in Greencastle will use a $32 million grant to support a mixed-use development that includes a public square for community events, establish a business incubation fund connecting local entrepreneurs and business professionals to university resources, and construct a new aquatics center at the local YMCA.
- Grace College in Winona Lake received $27 million for various projects including creation of orthopedic and business innovation centers, development and renovation of wellness facilities, and renovation of a performing arts and event space and a building that will house a childcare training center.

The grant will support improvements to trails and roads between these communities and Clifty Falls State Park; rehabilitation of buildings, green spaces and community amenities in Hanover; and expansion of a child development center.

The grant will help fund renovation of buildings in the former LaRue Carter hospital campus; relocation of university education programs and offices to the district, and relocation of various Indianapolis-based education and youth-serving nonprofit organizations to the REID.
- Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology in Terre Haute was granted $30.5 million to develop a community innovation hub on Rose-Hulman’s south campus. It will use the funds to construct a building that will house Rose-Hulman Ventures and support STEM education. It will also build a solar farm to generate sustainable energy for the hub and other entities in the area.

The grant will help fund renovation of an historic downtown building to be the centerpiece of the district. In collaboration with Holy Cross College, the district will become the home of a new Center for Leadership and Professional Excellence.
“While varied in scope and reach, the proposed initiatives and projects reflect a commitment by stakeholders, inclusive of faculty, staff and students from these institutions, business leaders, government officials, and community leaders, to create vibrant communities where all residents can thrive,” said Jennett M. Hill, president of the Endowment, in its news release. “The Endowment looks forward to seeing all the projects in the CCC initiative evolve. We are enthusiastic about the prospects for both the institutions and communities and are eager to see these institutions and their community stakeholders collaborate to breathe life into their promising projects.”
A woman suspected in a Springfield Township homicide Monday morning was fatally shot after a vehicle pursuit in Indiana.
Springfield Township police responded to a home in the 2700 block of Lincoln Avenue around 7 a.m. for a shooting, according to a press release from Springfield Township police. There, they found 33-year-old Lacresha Black suffering from gunshot wounds on her front porch. She was pronounced dead at the scene.
Detectives identified the suspect as Terea Brown, 42, who officials said fled the scene in a dark-colored Chevrolet Cruise before officers arrived. A regional broadcast was issued to law enforcement agencies with Brown’s description and vehicle information.
Brown had traveled to Clinton County, Indiana, where she was involved in a vehicle pursuit with Indiana State Police, according to the press release. A gunshot was fired from inside Brown’s vehicle after the pursuit, police said, and pursuing troopers returned fire. She was pronounced dead.

A huge battle between top-five ranked Big Ten teams kicks off as No. 2 Ohio State welcomes No. 5 Indiana on Saturday. Here’s how the oddsmakers are predicting the game right now.
Ohio State moved to 6-1 in Big Ten play but still sits in third place in the standings thanks to that 1-point loss at Oregon earlier this year, and this game will determine second place in the league.
Standing in the Buckeyes’ way is arguably the surprise team in college football this season: undefeated Indiana, playing its first-ever 10-win season behind the nation’s second-ranked scoring offense under first-year head coach Curt Cignetti.
What do the wiseguys expect will happen as the Buckeyes host the Hoosiers this weekend?
Let’s check in with the early predictions for Ohio State vs. Indiana in this Week 12 college football game, according to the oddsmakers.
Ohio State is an 11.5 point favorite against Indiana, according to the lines at FanDuel Sportsbook.
The book lists the total at 52.5 points for the game.
And it set the moneyline odds for Ohio State at -465 and for Indiana at +350 to win outright.
Ohio State: -11.5 (-110)
Indiana: +11.5 (-110)

Under 52.5 points: -118

A plurality of bettors expect the Hoosiers to give the Buckeyes a good scare this weekend, according to the spread consensus picks for the game.
Indiana is getting 66 percent of bets to either win outright in an upset, or to keep the margin under a dozen points in a loss.
The other 44 percent of wagers project Ohio State will win the game and cover the big spread.
The game’s implied score suggests a comfortable win for the Buckeyes against the Hoosiers.
When taking the point spread and total into consideration, it’s implied that Ohio State will defeat Indiana by a projected score of 32 to 21.
Our early pick: Indiana +11.5 … Ohio State hasn’t performed well against the spread and its defense has been prone to exposure by aggressive passing offenses. Buckeyes by 10.

Desperate family of pregnant Indiana mom of four who vanished in October begs for public’s help with search
Desperate family and friends of a pregnant mother of four who disappeared in Indiana last month are hoping to rally support to bring her — and her possibly newborn child — home.
Emma Baum, 25, was last seen at her boyfriend’s house in Gary, Ind. on Oct. 10, her family said. She was heavily pregnant at the time and likely due in just days.
“We are looking for my sister. She was one centimeter dilated on October 4. She has been missing since October 10,” Baum’s sister, Abigale Smith, said at a press conference on Friday.
“At this point, we have done everything we can, and now we ask the public to please help us.”
Jamie Baum, Emma’s mother, believes her daughter’s boyfriend had something to do with her sudden disappearance.
“I would like my daughter home. We miss her. Her babies need her. Her family needs her,” she said at the press conference.
Emma’s boyfriend has since been taken into custody, but in connection to an unrelated case for a failure to appear warrant, Gary police Commander Jack Hamady said.
A missing persons report wasn’t filed for Emma until Oct. 28 — 18 days after she was last seen at her boyfriend’s house.
Police say that they have dedicated their search efforts to the three primary locations that have come up during the investigation and are pivoting to scour old video footage in the areas where Emma was last seen.
The young mom is approximately 5 feet 3 inches tall and weighs about 136 pounds. She frequently wears wigs and different hair pieces but is naturally a brunette.
“We love you, Emma. And if you can hear us, there is nothing that you have done to make any of us stop loving you. We trust that somebody knows something and we want her home,” Smith said.
