Indiana University has been a proud supporter of the Indiana Black Expo Summer Celebration—one of the country's largest African American cultural events—for more than five decades. Events include the IBE Education Conference, the annual Pacers Sports and Entertainment Corporate Luncheon, and a three-day exhibition during the weeklong celebration.
Students and prospective families can visit the IU booth during the July 14-16 exhibition. Visitors can participate in hands-on activities for all ages, take virtual campus tours, meet with campus representatives, and much more.
Representatives from the 21st Century Scholars Program will be at the IU booth to help students sign up, check their enrollment status, and answer questions. In addition, there will be opportunities to complete the 9th-12th grade Scholars Success Program requirements.
Whether your goal is to attend graduate school, enter a career in academic research, or take what you've learned to gain greater traction in the job market, The University Graduate School has the program to take you where you want to go. Staff will be at the booth to assist.
If you are an IU alum, we invite you to take part in several activities and special programs throughout the week.
We invite current IU staff or faculty members to represent the university at various events and programs, including IBE kick-off events and events such as the IBE Education Conference and the Pacers Sports and Entertainment corporate luncheon, as well as the three-day exhibition.
Indiana University is deeply committed to cultivating an environment that advocates inclusion and equity for all. That commitment has been the driving force behind IU's position at the forefront of diversity efforts in higher education and its long tradition of opening doors for underrepresented, underserved, and minority groups. As part of this commitment, IU continues to support the Indiana Black Expo proudly.
James C. Wimbush, IU's vice president for diversity, equity, and inclusion, interim IUB vice provost for diversity and inclusion, and Johnson Chair for Diversity and Leadership.
