Our students, faculty, and staff engage with the community through coursework, community-engaged research, service, workforce initiatives, and partnerships that create impact across Indianapolis, Indiana, and beyond.
Advancing impact through community engagement
Pillar III: Service to the State engagement map
Explore community engagement through the map
The engagement map highlights activities documented in Collaboratory that support the goals of the IU Indianapolis 2030 Strategic Plan, Pillar III: Service to the State. The map includes activities that began after 2023, as well as earlier activities that remain active. Users can explore activities by location, partner organization, and strategic goal.
If you are a community partner and do not see a partnership or activity represented on the map, we encourage you to contact your IU Indianapolis campus partner to learn more about whether the activity can be documented in Collaboratory.
Below the map, you will find the number of partner organizations and activities supporting the five Pillar III goals.
The Pillar III: Service to the State engagement map was developed in partnership with the Office of School Partnerships.
What is Collaboratory?
Documenting community engagement across IU Indianapolis
Collaboratory is a searchable database where IU Indianapolis faculty, staff, and students document how they engage with communities through research, service, teaching, programs, and partnerships.
By capturing this work, Collaboratory helps illustrate the breadth of the university's engagement and community impact while creating opportunities to identify connections, partnerships, and areas of shared interest.
About Collaboratory
Collaboratory at IU is made possible by the Lilly Endowment's Charting the Future for Indiana's Colleges and Universities initiative. Supporting Collaboratory at IU is a partnership between the Center for Postsecondary Research and the Office of School Partnerships, a division of the Office of the Vice President for University Academic Affairs.
