Community Engagement Campaign
Watch parties
Hosting watch parties is a fun way to bring your communities together in the name of IU. These events are a chance for us to connect, share our passion, and cheer on our favorite teams, players, and performers.
Welcome-to events
As IU alumni, we share a unique bond that connects us no matter where in the world we are. Whether recent graduates, new to the area, or just new to the group, it’s crucial that we extend a warm welcome to our new additions. Making someone feel like they belong is the first step in building a strong and inclusive community. Welcome-to events can be one-on-one interactions, longer networking events, or virtual “hellos”—whatever works best for you.
Community service
We can demonstrate the power of our alumni network, inspire others to join our mission, and truly make an impact by serving our local communities.
Engagement events
An event or program that brings people together to celebrate community.
Professional development and networking
Leverage your IU networks to help achieve your career goals and help other alumni and students achieve theirs. Our alumni network has been instrumental in connecting professionals with job opportunities, mentorships, and career advice, making it a valuable resource for all of us.
