Make a difference

We have a variety of opportunities for IU Kokomo faculty, staff, and students to get involved in Kids College. Making a meaningful connection to IUK relies upon building relationships, and Kids College is a great place for you to start! 

To enhance our Kids College teaching staff, we invite IU Kokomo students and alumni who might be willing to share their experiences navigating the college-going process. Faculty and staff are encouraged to talk to students about how their teaching and research connects to the local community or how they discovered their passion for education.

Or, join the Kids College staff by becoming a program assistant or a guest lecturer!
