Charles E. Brown Cultural Center

The Charles E. Brown Cultural Center is responsible for developing and providing opportunities for all students to involve themselves in creating, innovating, designating, and promoting cultural programs relevant to them and to advancing campus and public understanding of why an appreciation of a wide range of cultures and experiences is important. It is further responsible for promoting positive identification, association, and establishing relationships with historically underrepresented student groups and contemporary culture. The Charles E. Brown Cultural Center creates a learning environment conducive for students, administrators, faculty members, and citizens of the Terre Haute community to understand, recognize, and appreciate the contributions made by people from different cultures, backgrounds, and identities.

I-Succeed

The I-Succeed program was created to assist students with the transition from high school to Indiana State. The program helps students address issues that commonly impede student success, such as time management, engagement, and study skills. Through I-Succeed, students can develop strong academic study skills and leadership and professional skills that will help them throughout college and beyond.
