Campus partners and community resources
We want our new students, staff, and faculty to know that your transition to SPH and the larger Bloomington community is important to us. To help you get oriented, we're providing you with some community resources and information. On this page, you will find links to information on childcare, support for senior citizens and aging family members, public safety, City of Bloomington events and commissions, and more. Incoming and current students will find listed several of the IU offices that can meet your academic, cultural, and social needs.
We realize each individual's interests and family needs are diverse and unique, so we hope that there is something for everyone.
