Campus and Community Diversity Resources

Housing and Residence Life staff value civility and diversity. We respect and embrace each other's differences and are committed to providing a safe and inclusive living environment. HRL supports residents and staff by working to create a positive residential and academic experience. One way to support residents and staff is to connect them to resources both on and off campus. If you do not find what you need below, please contact the office by phone 812-468-2000 or email Living.
