Academic and career services are crucial to OVPDEI’s mission. By supporting these services, we’re supporting the academic, professional, and personal success of minority students, faculty, and staff at Indiana University.
Thousands benefit from these services each semester. In addition to academic and career support, we also fund scholars programs that give minority students the information and guidance that set them up for a successful college experience.
