The University of Southern Indiana’s vision is a simple but powerful one: USI will be a recognized leader in higher education boldly shaping the future and transforming the lives of our students through exceptional learning and intentional innovation.
Our mission statement is:
USI is an engaged learning community committed to exceptional education. We exist to provide an educated citizenry that can engage in a civil manner within a community with divergent ideas and cultural differences. We prepare our students to lead and make positive contributions to our state, their communities, and to be lifetime learners in a diverse and global society.
When considering sponsorship requests from 501(c)(3) nonprofit or community organizations, we partner with organizations and efforts primarily focused on education, diversity and that support education of students and faculty.
Definition of sponsorship: financial or in-kind support of an event, organization or activity that is given in exchange for acknowledgement, recognition or promotion; or a university representative in attendance.
As a rule, we do not provide sponsorship funds for the following:
Requests should be submitted a minimum of six weeks prior to the event or print deadline for the event’s promotional materials. Requests should be sent via email to Community.Engagement@usi.edu or via mail to Kindra Strupp, University of Southern Indiana, 8600 University Boulevard, Evansville, Indiana 47712.
Requests for sponsorship should come to USI and not the USI Foundation as the Foundation is a separate 501(c)3. The USI Foundation's mission is to attract, acquire, and manage donors' charitable gifts to support and sustain the goals of the University of Southern Indiana.
Requests for advertising should be submitted to Stephanie Hawes at UnivMarketing@usi.edu.
Requests for USI promotional items during College Go Week, or similar high school projects/classes, should be made to USI Admissions at enroll@usi.edu.
