We in student life hope that this page gives you answers to your questions, as well as information on programs that are being offered to students. During this year we hope that you will take time to get involved in the community through many of the different opportunities that are offered. We realize that commuter students often have a hard time getting information quickly and effectively. To help with this the university offers two possibilities. The first is the "commuter group" on the cougar connection. This page will give you the latest on what is going on around campus and ways to get involved. The second is a commuter connections newsletter that goes out twice a semester. If you have any questions or comments please feel free to give us a call at (260) 434-7729.

We are glad your here, and we look forward to working with you this upcoming year.
