On March 4, 2019, Indiana University President Michael A. McRobbie announced the naming of the IU School of Public and Environmental Affairs in honor of former Secretary of the U.S. Treasury and IU alumnus Paul H. O’Neill, MPA’66, LHD’14.
The naming recognized O’Neill’s generous $30 million dollar gift to the school to establish new student scholarships, fellowships, faculty positions, and the Paul H. O’Neill Center on Leadership in Public Service, among other initiatives.
Paul H. O’Neill's career was marked by leadership and vision, which he applied across the public, private, and nonprofit sectors—the same three sectors of the economy the O’Neill School addresses in our teaching and research.
