Professor Baker to Carry Torch in Bicentennial Relay
06/21/2016
Professor Cynthia Baker, director of the IU McKinney Program on Law and State Government, has been chosen to take part in the Indiana Bicentennial Torch Relay. She will carry the torch on October 13 in Hamilton County, where she lives with her family.
“I am very grateful to those who took the time to nominate me for this event,” Professor Baker said. “I was born and raised in Michigan, but have lived most of my adult life in Indiana. In short, this state and its citizens have been so good to me! I am really looking forward to this fun and healthy way to celebrate 200 years of statehood.”
More than 2,200 Hoosiers have been invited to carry the torch along its 3,200 mile route throughout the state. The torch will wind its way through all of Indiana’s 92 counties, go through 260 cities and towns, 17 state and national parks, past nine lakes and rivers, 27 national, state, and local sites of historical significance, and 22 colleges and universities.
