Dear IU School of Social Work Students and Community,

Today, July 1, 2024, we’re excited to share that the IUPUI campus is officially changing its name to Indiana University Indianapolis. While this marks a new chapter in Indiana University’s institutional history, our commitment to providing a high-quality education in Social Work remains steadfast.

Our dedicated and professional team continues to ensure you receive the best possible education and support. The name of our campus may be changing, but the essence of our program, the strength of our community, and the value of your degrees remain consistent.

Here are a few key points to reassure you during this transition:

  1. Consistent Academic Excellence: Our curriculum, faculty, and support services will continue to uphold the high standards you have come to expect. This name change will not affect the quality of education and the integrity of our Social Work program.
  2. Dedicated Faculty and Staff: Our experienced and passionate faculty and staff remain committed to your academic and professional success. Their expertise and support will continue to be a cornerstone of your educational journey.
  3. Valuable Program: The value of your degree in Social Work at IU Indianapolis is rooted in the rigorous and comprehensive education you receive here. This will not change. Our programs are designed to equip you with the knowledge, skills, and experience necessary to excel.
  4. Strong Community: We are proud of the strong and supportive community we have built on the Indianapolis campus. This community will continue to thrive, providing you with a network of peers, mentors, and professionals who are dedicated to making a difference.

We understand that change can bring questions and uncertainty. Please do not hesitate to reach out if you have any concerns or need further information.

Thank you for your continued dedication to your studies and to the field of Social Work. We are confident that together, we will continue to achieve great things.

Warm regards,
