Minority Support Groups
Army ROTC Offered on-campus
LGBT Support Groups: Connectionz is IUN's LGBTQIA+ (Lesbian, Gay, Bi, Trans, Queer, Intersex, Agender/Asexual, etc.) support-group/GSA (Gay-Straight Alliance). We aim to make positive changes on and off campus by impacting the minds of our peers, to maintain a healthy, positive, accepting community, and to keep the spaces around us safe for all genders, sexual orientations, and people. We wish to interact with students and faculty of all walks of life, hoping to let them see the true faces and humanity of those who are "othered" simply for being true to themselves. https://redhawklink.iun.edu/organization/Connectionz

The Jeanne Clery Act requires colleges and universities to disclose their security policies, keep a public crime log, publish an annual crime report and provide timely warnings to students and campus employees about a crime posing an immediate or ongoing threat to students and campus employees.
Please visit The Princeton Review’s page on campus safety for additional resources: http://www.princetonreview.com/safety
The Princeton Review publishes links directly to each school's Campus Security Reports where available.
