Through the Indiana Youth Programs on Campus (IYPC) initiative, made available by Lilly Endowment Inc., IWU seeks to increase opportunities for Indiana youth to participate in learning experiences on campus to explore how college can be part of their future.
Whether students are just starting to expand their educational horizons or they’re on their way to becoming Indiana Wesleyan University Wildcats, there is a program that will provide the opportunity for them to explore their interests.
