Multicultural Resources and Services

Be Inspired and Do Great Things

Your education is more than a degree—it's a turning point you work hard to reach. It's your preparation for the world and for your future, wherever it takes you.

We believe in you and in what you can do. Set your goals, and we'll help you reach them. Dedicated campus resources support our diverse student body. If you're looking for advising, academic support, and counseling, you'll find them—tailored to your specific needs. If you're looking for opportunities—like research with professors or an internship that makes you stand out—we can help you find those, too.

Where do you start?

You can find our admissions counselors at many college fairs near you throughout the school year. It's a great way to talk to someone in person about the admissions process and the opportunities you can have at IUP. 

Your parents may also want some tips to help you as you all navigate this experience. It's a pretty big deal, but we are here to support you all along the way.

Investment. Community. Outcomes.

College is one of the biggest investments you can make. Moreover, in college, students often find a profound sense of community through shared experiences, interests, and activities. Whether through joining clubs, participating in campus events, or living in dormitories, these interactions foster lasting friendships and a supportive network. The combination of your investment to further your education and the surrounding community provided by IUP will lead to a variety of outcomes, including expanded career opportunities, increased earning potential, and personal growth. 

Pick Your Clubs and Organizations

IUP has more than 250 clubs and student organizations—choose one or more. Continue doing an activity you love or try something new.

If you're looking for an organization that has a multicultural connection, you'll find many active, engaging groups to choose from.
