Biography

As the senior director for public safety at Indiana University, Steve Adams advises on strategic and operational issues. He collaborates closely with IU Public Safety's senior leadership and other colleagues, particularly from the areas of finance, human resources, and other administrative shared services at the university, to facilitate the advancement of strategic initiatives and policy priorities supporting the greatest degree of safety for all members of the IU community.

While serving at Hoosier Uplands Economic Development Corporation, he focused on health care access improvements and provided strategic development leadership throughout several Indiana communities. Steve's public service included an appointment as the chief operating officer for the Indiana Lieutenant Governor's Office, where he contributed to the development of enhanced business operations. In addition, during his nearly decade-long service with the State of Indiana, he assisted in implementing modernization of public and child welfare systems.
