Student Community Engagement Root Site

The Center for Community Engagement serves as the "front door" of Indiana State University. We are concerned with both helping students locate community opportunities that enhance their education and helping external organizations access and utilize University resources in a manner that improves the quality of life in our community. In addition, several other campus programs and services are available to support community partners.

  • Assist area nonprofit organizations, government agencies, and private industry and business to develop links with Indiana State University students and faculty.
  • Create out-of-class learning experiences, including internships and service-learning, for ISU's students and faculty; and
  • Encourage and coordinate student, faculty, and employee volunteerism and service to the Wabash Valley.

If your organization is interested in collaborating with ISU students, faculty, and staff, please contact the Center for Community Engagement at 812.237.2335 or ISU-Engagement@indstate.edu.
