Why We Run

IU Indianapolis proudly supports students in recovery from substance use and behavioral addictions. In 2014, we became the first university in Indiana to offer a Collegiate Recovery Community (CRC) support program. Thanks to participants like you, last year we raised $11,434 for addiction recovery scholarships! Let’s make an even bigger impact this year.
