Graduate and Professional Student Organizations

Getting involved in a student organization is one of the best ways to bring value to your curriculum vitae.

It can also help you build connections in the field or industry you’re most interested in joining.

In addition to the list of student organizations you can find at the IU Indianapolis Office of Student Involvement, there are several organizations at IU Indianapolis specifically for graduate students. These organizations help to bring a sense of graduate community to the campus. They also provide feedback to administrators about policies and issues affecting you and your colleagues.

The IU Indianapolis Graduate and Professional Student Government (GPSG)

The GPSG is the official voice of 8,000+ graduate and professional students on the IU Indianapolis campus. It promotes active dialogue between the community and school administration, and works regularly with faculty and staff to determine future directions for the university.

Underrepresented Professional and Graduate Student Organization (UPnGO)

Members of UPnGO at IU Indianapolis promote diversity and improve retention by providing avenues for academic, professional, and social support. The organization works to improve the quality of student life for underrepresented professional and graduate students at IU Indianapolis.

Grad Parent Network (GPN)

The Grad Parent Network (GPN) is comprised of graduate and professional students who are also parents. Grad Parents are incredibly important members of our campus community and bring unique and valuable perspectives that are needed to advance the vision of academic and social excellence.
