Born separately, decades apart, and conjoined in 1964 along the banks of the St. Joseph River, Indiana University Purdue University Fort Wayne offers an outstanding education at a great value. As northeastern Indiana s premier public university, IPFW is committed to enhancing access to personalized, high-quality learning. The university offers more than 180 degree options for undergraduate and graduate programs, taught by distinguished professors. It s not unusual to turn on a television documentary and see a member of IPFW s faculty as the resident expert on topics ranging from dinosaurs to Middle East politics. IPFW continues to grow, both in numbers of students and in facilities. Spring 2002 total student enrollment was 10,625, an 8 percent increase from spring 2001. The addition of more than a dozen new soccer fields across the St. Joseph River from the main campus has greatly increased athletic opportunities for students as well as for members of the community. Plans for a new music building are in the works, and fundraising efforts have already begun. IPFW opened student housing in 2004. IPFW s academic organization is made up of 10 major units, which include the schools of Business and Management Sciences; Education; Health Sciences; Arts and Sciences; Engineering, Technology, and Computer Science; and Visual and Performing Arts. It also includes the divisions of Continuing Studies, Labor Studies, Public and Environmental Affairs, and Organizational Leadership and Supervision.

History of Fort Wayne...with a population in excess of 200,000 people, it is the second largest city in Indiana. Fort Wayne began as an outpost on the western frontier more than 200 years ago. It gained its nickname, the Summit City, by being the highest place between the Maumee and Wabash river basins. Now with a population in excess of 200,000 people, it is the second largest city in Indiana. As such, it offers its citizenry a wide variety of things to do, see, and appreciate. For the sports minded, there are two professional sports teams based here: the United Hockey League s Fort Wayne Komets and the Midwest League for Single A Baseball s Fort Wayne Wizards, whose parent club is the San Diego Padres. Fort Wayne holds several places in sports history. It is the birthplace of the National Basketball Association and the home of the Daisy s, one of five teams in the first professional women s baseball league. Fort Wayne also has the honor of holding the first night baseball game under lights. Fort those who are interested in the performing arts, the Summit City offers venues such as the Fort Wayne Philharmonic, Fort Wayne Ballet, the Civic Theatre, Artlink, Fort Wayne Dance Collective, and Fort Wayne Youtheatre. Some little known trivia about Fort Wayne: the inventor of the television Philo T. Farnsworth was born here, as was fashion designer Bill Blass. Fort Wayne is the home of the washing machine, baking powder, parking meters, magnetic wire, streetlights, and gas pumps. Each team will be assigned a locker room. The locker rooms will be stocked with water, cups, and ice. Bench towels will be available on your team bench at the start of warm-ups. If you need any additional items, please contact the athletics office 48 hours prior to your game. Each team will use the training room for taping and pre-game therapy. No taping supplies or tables will be available in the locker rooms. The athletics training staff encourages each team to bring taping supplies. If you are not traveling with a trainer, please contact the training room at the number above to make arrangements for taping and pre-game physical therapy.
