IU has long promoted the international dimension of education. As we commemorate IU's bicentennial, we also honor nearly 200 years of global engagement. In celebration, international partners across the world are sharing messages of support.
As Rector of an institution older than five hundred years, I am fully aware of the importance of traditions, inheritance and perseverance in academic pursuits. Indiana University and Universidad Complutense have made an important part of their way together, and we expect to continue in the future sharing values and mutually enriching knowledge. We wish you a very happy birthday!
Rector, Dr. Joaquín Goyache Goñi

Dear President Michael McRobbie,
On behalf of National Taiwan University, I am delighted to congratulate you and your colleagues on the 200th anniversary of the founding of Indiana University. Indiana University has been an innovator of research and teaching in higher education and I am certain that it will continue to break grounds in the years to come.
I’m also grateful that Indiana University has been by our side, connecting young minds from two continents across the Pacific by fostering faculty and student exchange programs with National Taiwan University.
We are proud to have Indiana University as our partner and look forward to finding new ways to work together on establishing more academic exchanges.
Again, congratulations, and best wishes for many more years of success.
Chung-Ming Kuan,
President of National Taiwan University
It is my pleasure and my honour to send a congratulation message to Indiana University. Universidad Complutense and Indiana University are old time partners, and there had been thousands of Indiana students whose heart is partially Complutense. We have been partners for over fifty years, during which we have mutually benefited from an agreement that has taken Spanish interests and culture to USA, and has made USA culture and interests relevant in Spain. Your bicentennial anniversary is our joy and pleasure, and we wish the celebrate your 300th anniversary together. ¡Feliz cumpleaños!
Dámaso López
