Butler University has added Jim Schellinger as ambassador of global relations in the office of the president. He most recently served as Indiana Secretary of Commerce after being named to the role by Governor Eric Holcomb in 2016 and previously serving as president of the Indiana Economic Development Corp.

“Jim Schellinger is uniquely qualified to further enhance the reputation and relationships that have been central to the success of Butler University,” Butler University President James Danko said. “We take great pride in our top ranking in the Midwest and recognize that our rising national and global reputation will be critical to our future growth and success, including expanded opportunities for our students.”

In his new role, Schellinger will work closely with President Danko and the university’s newly-formed Office of Strategic Engagement.

Schellinger has twice been named a Sagamore of the Wabash.
