WHS Impact Report

When a crisis occurs, when a need is unmet, when an idea is too good not to pursue, contributions to the Well House Society help IU rise to meet the moment—funding a variety of projects that reflect Indiana University’s values, priorities, and mission.

Here you’ll find just a few examples of the extraordinary, life-changing work that your contributions have made possible.

• As part of a student-led IU South Bend program bolstered by WHS support, young mothers received language-enriching books and toys, along with student-led educational instruction, to help foster their children’s development.
• The WHS helped fund “IU Innovates,” a new, university-wide initiative to support student and faculty entrepreneurship via the creation and growth of startup ventures across the state.
• Your support prepared future elementary school educators in the areas of science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) via a video workshop that taught the soon-to-be teachers how to make and apply critical observations in their practicum classrooms.
• With support from the WHS, IU Kokomo students are engaging in experiential learning—working on real-world projects brought forward by local businesses, nonprofits, and government agencies.

• Your generosity is expanding IU Bloomington’s Groups Scholars Program to regional IU campuses. The program increases college attendance among first-generation, underrepresented students at IU by providing academic, financial, and social support to students.
• A WHS grant helped the Queer Student Union (QSU) elevate its recruitment strategy, grow membership, and increase visibility on campus by creating a QSU toolkit. 
• Your generosity provided scholarships to students in need of housing at the Women in STEM Living-Learning Center, a residential community that unites undergraduate students pursuing STEM degrees.
• IU Southeast is creating LGBTQ+ inclusive spaces on campus and in surrounding rural communities.
