Community Engagement

IU has never had more resources, outreach programs, and financial aid available than it does today, and many potential students simply need to be made aware of what's out there for them.

Through campus visits and other programming, we pair middle, junior, and high school students with current IU students to offer "near-peer" perspectives of the college experience at Indiana University. We also team with other departments on campus to offer detailed timelines and realistic steps pre-college students can take to prepare academically, socially, and financially for life after high school.

Our Community & School Partnerships program within OVPDEI seeks to present Indiana University as an attractive option for the underrepresented populations we serve. Regardless of a student's choice of school—or even his or her decision to attend college—we want to be a positive change agent in the lives of everyone who passes through our programs.
