Find your community at the IU School of Education

Members of the Dean's Advisory Council and Dean Anastasia Morrone celebrated Halloween with the Dean in 2022.

Undergraduate organizations are a great way for new students to get involved and meet new people. Whether you’re starting your college career or just looking to network with your fellow students, our student organizations are the perfect place to grow your community at IU.

  • Balfour Us – This group brings together hyperraced and historically underserved populations on IU Bloomington’s campus, into a safe and comfortable place where students can be supported in their academic, personal, and professional development. 
  • Books & Beyond – IU Books & Beyond is a collaborative leadership development project that works to develop critical literacy skills and multilingual, intercultural models for cross-cultural teaching and learning. IU Books & Beyond is a University Student Organization. We are affiliated with the African Studies Program and the School of Education at Indiana University Bloomington.
  • Community of Diverse Educators – CODE seeks to discuss, challenge, and dismantle issues and barriers that hyperraced and traditionally underrepresented communities face in the field of education through empowerment and advocacy. In addition to serving the School of Education community, CODE will work with the local communities to support education. 
  • Dean’s Advisory Council – Represent your fellow undergraduate students as a member of the Dean’s Advisory Council.
