Campus Life Guide

Greetings students.

Welcome to Indiana State University, home to Sycamore Trees, Sycamore Sam, and more than 13,000 Sycamores – you, the students. Whether you are a new student, a transfer student, or a returning student, Indiana State is committed to your education and your collegiate experience.

This important resource is a start of that process. This Campus Life Guide is designed to introduce programs and services made available to all students. We are delighted that you are seeking ways to be engaged and get connected with your university.

Within the Division of Student Affairs we have a motto, “Students FIRST.” Which means that we place you in the center and at the core of everything we do. We are committed to your development, growth and learning.

We have enjoyed many celebrated moments already this Fall. During Welcome Week, thousands of new students participated in Convocation, were able to March Through the Arch, and relaxed during Sycamore Sunday. Many of you celebrated during the Fountain Party, learned and were entertained during Maria Falzone’s Sex Rules program at the Hulman Center, and even joined classmates for our inaugural Movie on the President’s Lawn.

These types of events will continue through Club Month with opportunities for all students to explore the many cocurricular offerings available at Indiana State University. I encourage you to participate in our signature Homecoming events, attend an icon and legacy program, join a student organization, cheer with the Forest, and participate in leadership development initiatives.

At Indiana State, it’s never been easier to map your college success plan. We are proud of our university, the rich history and the diversity of our students. Our students come from all walks of life, but they have one thing in common: Sycamore Pride. Welcome to Indiana State – your university.

Go Sycamores!

Nolan Davis Interim Vice President for Student Affairs & Dean of Students

Campus Life Guide

The Indiana State Student Government Association is ecstatic to welcome you to campus for the upcoming school year!

SGA has been hard at work this summer to plan some wonderful, fun events for students! As you have probably heard before, college is the greatest four years of your life! Now that you have become a Sycamore, that statement could not be any truer! Indiana State University is full of outstanding opportunities for students; however, your student involvement on campus is vital to make sure you are getting the ISU experience you deserve!

There are many ways to get involved at Indiana State University through SGA. One great opportunity for freshmen is the Sycamore Leadership Coalition, which is specifically for those students who wish to get involved with SGA, the student body Senate, and The Forest! SGA serves as the voice and advocate from the student body to the administration, the faculty, and staff at Indiana State University. SGA wishes to serve students of Indiana State University to make sure they will receive the most rewarding and positive Sycamore Experience possible!

Any freshman that is interested in getting involved with SGA should seek out the Sycamore Leadership Coalition. It is a leadership based organization strictly for freshman that develops skills and qualities that can lead to student Senate positions as well as Executive Council members of SGA. Sycamore Leadership Coalition will allow freshman students to be a voice for the student body at Indiana State University.

Another opportunity for freshman involvement within SGA is The Forest. The Forest is one of the largest organizations on ISU’s campus, which supports all of our Sycamore athletic teams! The Forest is an excellent way to quickly get involved at ISU and also a great way to meet other students! With The Forest, students receive the chance to be more than just a fan. Forest members receive priority seating at all games and a chance to win a lot of free ISU gear! Forest members also get to star in promotional videos and they also get to meet many of the Sycamore athletes!

College is a time of transitions and many changes that can be overwhelming and sometimes scary! It is important to understand as a freshman that you are not alone in your college experience and SGA is here to serve YOU! Do not be afraid of change! As you accept change, you will transform into the person you are supposed to be! College is where you find out who you are as person. Just remember, make the most of your Sycamore Experience and you will not be disappointed!

SGA is proud to have each and every one of you here at Indiana State University. Good luck in your first year at Indiana State University!

Go Trees!

Best, Olivia Finley and Dan Dooley President and Vice President Student Government Association Indiana State University HMSU 621
