About Mays Chemical Company

It is difficult to separate the Mays Chemical Company from its president, Mr. William G. Mays (BA ’70, MBA ’73, ScD (Hon) ’00), and its “first lady,” Dr. Rose M. Mays (MSN ’74). Both of them have provided for the School of Nursing with their generous gifts of time and expertise as well as financial support. Through Mays Chemical, they have helped meet the School’s needs - from supporting diversity initiatives, to becoming a sponsor of the IU Nursing Gala, to serving in a leadership capacity for the School of Nursing’s campaign to establish its first endowed faculty position, the Emily Holmquist Professorship in Pediatric Oncology Nursing. In 2001, as IUPUI and the School of Nursing look to the future and their first comprehensive campaign, the Mays Company is again in the forefront, providing leadership through the gift of an endowed summer faculty fellowship.
