About Janice Malinovsky

Janice and Dr. Victor Malinovsky met as IU students; she in the School of Education and he in the School of Optometry. Dr. Malinovsky retired in 2014 from teaching at the School of Optometry, where he was honored with many awards. Mrs. Malinovsky also dedicated her career to teaching, serving as a faculty member in the Bloomington Ivy Tech Community College's mathematics department. The couple always felt that the University had been a positive impact on their lives and they honored that influence by donating to the School of Optometry for more than thirty years. Their commitment to Indiana University -- both in the classroom and as dedicated benefactors -- has inspired the school to establish the Victor and Janice Malinovsky Scholarship. The endowment will allow the Malinovskys to continue to have an impact on the lives of future optometry students.
