TERRE HAUTE, Ind. – Dr. Daniel Bradley, a dedicated Board Member of the Ouabache Land Conservancy and former President of Indiana State University, has been inducted into the Indiana State Department of Athletics’ 32nd Sycamore Hall of Fame Class. Bradley was honored alongside four other distinguished individuals during a ceremony on Friday, January 10, at the Sycamore Banquet Center.

Dr. Bradley served as ISU’s 11th president from 2008 to 2018, achieving remarkable milestones that extended far beyond campus. Under his leadership, ISU ranked #1 in the nation for community service hours in 2013, completed over $300 million in capital projects, and significantly improved retention and graduation rates. Bradley also played a pivotal role in redeveloping downtown Terre Haute and enhancing the riverfront area.

His commitment to environmental stewardship has carried over to his current role with the Ouabache Land Conservancy. As a Board Member, Bradley continues to champion the preservation of natural spaces and sustainable land management. His experience in revitalization and community building has been instrumental in helping the Conservancy surpass 1,000 acres of conserved land and in setting priorities for future conservation efforts in the region.

“Dan’s leadership and vision have greatly benefited the Conservancy,” said Ouabache Land Conservancy President Alysa Morley. “His recognition in the Sycamore Hall of Fame is well-deserved and reflects his deep commitment to our community and its natural resources.”

Bradley’s induction highlights his far-reaching impact as a leader, educator, and conservation advocate. His enduring efforts with the Ouabache Land Conservancy and his legacy at Indiana State University exemplify his dedication to building a stronger, more sustainable future for Terre Haute and beyond.
