Student Advocate referrals just got easier

Depending on your role on campus, you could be the first person to identify whether a student needs help. The student advocate, as part of the Division of Student Affairs, is a resource for providing assistance. The referral form for directing a student to the student advocate has recently been updated to make it easier for faculty and staff to start the process. When you complete the referral form online, you can then offer voluntary assistance to the student, connect the student with on- and off-campus resources, or help the student develop an action plan.

If you are unsure how to help a student, or if a student’s needs are more than you feel prepared to address, you can contact the student advocate at 317-274-4431 or .

Students may contact the student advocate directly by making an appointment or visiting during weekly updated walk-in hours.

Vote now! Help IU School of Dentistry Student Outreach Clinic win $100,000

The IU School of Dentistry Student Outreach Clinic needs your help to win a $100,000 grant. The grant would allow the clinic to expand its services at the eastside health center where student dentists treat those from underprivileged populations.

The dental clinic is a part of the IU Student Outreach Clinic, which is run completely by volunteers from IUPUI and Butler University. A team of 20 volunteers treats patients two Saturdays a month, typically working with patients who have been referred to the clinic by a variety of homeless shelters and other social service agencies.

The clinic is competing for the grant from a new USA Today Network program, A Community Thrives. The submission includes a video about the inspiring programs taking place across the country that could benefit from additional funding. With your help, the IU School of Dentistry Student Outreach Clinic has a chance to win this grant! You can vote once a day until May 12. Vote now to help students change lives by building better smiles.
