As the university as a whole excitedly begins its transition to IU Indianapolis, The Office of Community Engagement will begin to refer to itself as the IUI Office of Community Engagement!
IUPUI is inextricably connected to the world around us. Our campus covers more than 534 acres within the city of Indianapolis but our reach goes deep into the community.
Our commitment to community engagement can be seen in almost everything we do, whether we’re helping students succeed in the classroom or working to increase the well-being of our city, country, and world.
We’re here to facilitate these activities, creating and nurturing partnerships between campus and community in ways that matter.

We work with partners across the Indianapolis area to make our communities stronger, help our neighbors stay healthier, and better prepare our workforce for the future.
How? By making the right connections between community organizations and IUPUI schools, departments, faculty, and students.
Our students, faculty and staff are engaged with the community in key issues that impact families, such as K-12 education.
Learn more about how we partner with local schools and other community organizations to invest in the success of students long before they ever step foot on campus.
Our work in the community is possible through our community partners.
For more than 40 years, IUPUI has been engaged with our neighbors in the Near West, a vibrant and diverse community located just west of downtown and across the White River from campus.
