In the first months of 2020, we were hit with a pandemic the likes of which the world has not seen in more than 100 years. Of course, the IUPUI community rose to the occassion—faculty transitioned to fully-online teaching in a matter of weeks, staff learned to complete their jobs remotely, and students defined what a college experience looks like away from the physical campus.
As we continue to face the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic, we know the IUPUI experience will look different. Now it's time for us to step up as IUPUI champions, sharing the story of safety, quality, and opportunity at IUPUI with those around us. Whether they are our neighbors, parents of college-bound students, or prospective students themselves, they should know the IUPUI story and see where our campus fits in their lives.
IUPUI cares for our community's health and safety. With cleaning protocols, mask mandates, and the benefit of being home to the largest school of medicine in the nation and an accredited school of public health, we're uniquely equipped to meet the needs of our community now more than ever.
As a national leader in health and life sciences, civic engagement and service learning, innovative educational programs, and award-winning student support services, IUPUI delivers an educational experience that is second to none.
IUPUI is committed to supporting the academic and social needs of students to ensure they're able to progress toward graduation and a career. We're minutes away from Fortune 500 companies and national organizations, so students are preparing for their careers sometimes steps away from their first job.
Now and always, we're so grateful to have such a dedicated and engaged group of faculty and staff to help be community ambassadors for our campus. Here are a few steps you can take right now as a Commitment Champion to help elevate the profile of IUPUI in the community:
