Celebrating Student Impact at IU Bloomington

Each month, the Office of the Vice Provost for Undergraduate Education (UE) honors one outstanding undergraduate student who exemplifies the values of engagement, leadership, and learning through meaningful contributions to Indiana University Bloomington or the broader community.

The UE Student of the Month award shines a light on students whose stories inspire others, whether through service, innovation, research, or perseverance.

What We’re Looking For

We’re seeking stories that show how IU students are making a difference. Nominations should highlight how the nominee has:

Led or contributed to student organizations, projects, or initiatives
Served others or enhanced the success and well-being of their peers
Taken on innovative or courageous experiential learning opportunities (research, internships, community engagement, creative work, etc.)
Overcome challenges that led to personal growth or community impact

We value impact over titles—students don’t need to hold formal leadership positions to be recognized.
