Welcome, Class of 2023

We are delighted you are joining Indiana University’s vibrant community of scholars.

Freshman Induction is a key component of the first day of Welcome Week. Along with two other important events during your years at IU—the annual IU Bloomington Honors Convocation and Commencement—it is a celebration of your academic aspirations and success.

Like all great universities, IU conducts ceremonies such as this with fanfare and pageantry. There is music as well as brief remarks by Provost Robel and the student body president. Freshmen are invited to repeat the Indiana Promise, and they receive a keepsake IU pin.

All of these offices are here to support and help you as you become a university student. We’ll tell you more about each of them at Freshman Induction, but you can get a head start by checking out their websites.
