IU Indianapolis Office of Sustainability

As a campus, we spent April planting trees, fixing broken belongings, tracking our waste, and giving a second life to donated items. Between bike repairs and committing to new sustainable routines, it was a truly rewarding month.

We appreciate you making our campus more sustainable!
