G.I.V.E. Back Program

IU Getting Involved through Volunteer Experience Program (G.I.V.E.) is a partnership with Residential Programs and Services that allows IU 21st Century Scholars to receive a discount of $500.00 off of on-campus housing by completing various community service activities and participating in events held by our office. IU G.I.V.E. Back creates an opportunity for its participants to network with other IU 21st Century Scholars and alumni at the annual Next Steps Conference, engage with other Scholars, the campus and the larger Bloomington community. To qualify, IU 21st Century Scholars must have remaining financial need and must live on-campus.  For more information please contact Derrick Robinson (robindel@iu.edu).  View a short presentation.

Mentoring at IU Bloomington puts students on the right path to success. Through the Office of Mentoring Services and Leadership Development, the Faculty and Staff for Student Excellence (FASE) Mentoring Program pairs freshmen with upperclassmen peer mentors who help guide younger students —or protégés—through the critical first year of college. You also will be able to participate in FASE Mentoring events, including free etiquette dinners, bowling, and the homecoming pre-tailgate party.

FASE participants, too, can become leaders themselves in the program during their sophomore year, while sophomores, juniors, and seniors have opportunities to benefit from the advice and support of faculty mentors who help students develop their talents and prepare for success during college and beyond.
