Student Organizations

Become more successful by getting involved

You’ll be having too much fun to notice but getting involved sets you up for success. Research suggests that students who are active on campus tend to perform better academically and are more likely to graduate than their non-involved classmates.

When you join student organizations, you can:

Network with other students, faculty and staff
Develop leadership, communication and organizational skills
Gain recognition on campus and the community
Get the inside scoop on classes and professors
Build lasting friendships
Make a lasting impact on the campus and community

Become a science ambassador

Become an IUPUI School of Science ambassador. Whether you volunteer one time for a science event or join our energetic and exceptional Student Ambassador team, we’d love to help you get involved with helping prospective students learn more about us.

You’ll earn volunteer hours, get team building experience, add to your professional network, build your skills, and have a broader impact in the world of science.

As an ambassador, you can:

Participate in student panel discussions for prospective students
Lead tours of the School of Science facilities for prospective students
Greet prospective students at recruitment events
Make phone calls to prospective students
Assemble promo folders and recruitment mailings
