In Response to the Crisis in Ukraine
Our hearts go out to all those affected by Russia’s recent invasion of Ukraine. At IU Indianapolis, we are committed to supporting all members of our international university community impacted by this ongoing conflict – whether they be here in Indianapolis or abroad – especially those with personal connections to the region. As such, we have reached out to those individuals to offer our support during this time.
Currently, IU Indianapolis has no study abroad programs that are running in Russia or Ukraine. No changes to upcoming study abroad programs in Europe are planned at this time. IU Bloomington and IU Indianapolis continue to closely monitor the situation and its broader implications for all our activities in the region and the rest of the world with the safety and security of our community at the top of our minds.
IU Indianapolis offers several resources for those affected by this crisis through its Counseling and Psychological Services (CAPS).
