Campus Visits
Now is the time to start planning for the next big step of your educational journey. Community & School Partnerships can help with its Campus Visits program. School and community groups of up to 50 elementary, junior, or high school students may choose from half-day, full-day, or virtual visits to the Bloomington campus where you’ll learn about IU, live the life of a college student, and see firsthand the value of a college degree.

Spring Shadow Days
Spring Shadow Days is a popular program that pairs high school freshmen, sophomores, and juniors with college students to learn more about college academics and life outside of the classroom. Guests also learn about the college admissions process and hear presentations about scholarship opportunities and the various resources available to students seeking a higher education.
Visit IU Program (VIP)
In partnership with the Boys & Girls Club Crestmont Club, the Visit IU Program (VIP) introduces underrepresented students in the Bloomington area to college life through monthly visits to IU’s flagship campus. Visits are tailored to the students’ individual interests, grade level, and college preparatory timeline. Students not only gain insight about IU Bloomington, but also are introduced to the many resources available to help them get ready for the academic, social, and financial demands of higher education.
Community organizations and afterschool programs interested in the VIP for their students can connect with us to learn more.
