About Sheila Jellison

Sheila Jellison honors the remarkable legacy of her late husband, Brian Jellison, a proud IU Kelley School of Business graduate whose life and leadership were shaped by the power of education. Brian, the longtime president and CEO of Roper Technologies, believed deeply that education opens doors—a belief that guided both his extraordinary career and the family’s philanthropy. Through the Jellison Foundation, Sheila and her family seek to inspire Kelley students from the very start of their academic journeys and expand the school’s global reach through innovative, forward‑thinking support. Their giving reflects a profound appreciation for the opportunities Brian’s IU education provided and a desire to extend those same possibilities to future generations. Sheila has seen firsthand how education transforms lives, and she is committed to ensuring that Kelley students have the resources to dream boldly and succeed. We are deeply grateful for Sheila’s generosity and for the lasting impact the Jellison family continues to make at Indiana University.
