Community Relations

"IPFW has always striven to be a part of the community and to have the community be a part of the campus." — Chancellor Michael Wartell

University Relations and Communications (URC) strives to promote the value and impact of the university on education, quality of life, and economic development in the northeast Indiana region. Additionally, URC supports community outreach and volunteerism and creates opportunities for the community to be involved in the life of the university.
