Description
  • "[Raclin] and her late husband, O.C. Carmichael, were forceful negotiators for a regional campus of IU in South Bend during the early 1970s. They worked toward land acquisition during the critical developmental phase of the campus that now educates an average of 8,000 students annually. Among Raclin‚Äôs numerous volunteer engagements with IU and the South Bend community, she chaired IU South Bend‚Äôs first capital campaign in 2002, helping to achieve 105 percent of the $5 million goal. Motivated by her passion for helping students and promoting the arts, Raclin gave a generous gift in honor of which the Ernestine M. Raclin School of the Arts at IU South Bend received its name."--IU South Bend press release, November 4, 2013
