Awards & Recognition
The Luddy School of Informatics, Computing, and Engineering at IU Indianapolis. Every credential below is real, scoped to this school, and traceable to the body behind it.
Founded in 2000, Luddy was the first school in the United States dedicated to the study of informatics. Today it spans informatics, computing and engineering across four departments — a distinct, interdisciplinary approach that still sets it apart.
Every item below links to the body behind it — a news report, an accreditor or the Luddy School’s own documented record — and is scoped to Luddy at IU Indianapolis.
The school is named for ServiceNow founder and IU alumnus Fred Luddy, following a transformational $60M gift to launch Indiana University’s AI initiative.
