IU Political Science Distinguished Professor Elinor Ostrom (1934-2012) was the first woman to be awarded the Nobel Prize for Economic Sciences in 2009. During the AY 2019-20, Indiana University and the Political Science department hosted several events that commemorated the 10th anniversary of her remarkable achievement. In October, President McRobbie and Provost Robel unveiled the Ostrom Historical marker behind Woodburn hall. They also announced a life-size bronze statue would be dedicated in late 2020.
