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
