Former Secretary of the U.S. Treasury and IU alumnus Paul H. O’Neill demonstrated extraordinary leadership and vision across the public, private, and non-profit sectors—the same three sectors of the economy the O’Neill School addresses in our teaching and research. His distinguished career in government and industry represented a remarkable combination of business acumen and devotion to the greater good.
In 2019, Indiana University named the Paul H. O’Neill School of Public and Environmental Affairs in his honor, following a $30 million gift from the O’Neill family to establish new student scholarships, fellowships, faculty positions, and the Paul H. O’Neill Center for Leadership in Public Service, among other initiatives. This follows a previous gift of $3 million from the family to help construct the Paul H. O’Neill Graduate Center on the Bloomington campus in 2017.
