SLIS-Indianapolis students tend to be pretty busy people. Many work and/or have families. Many students of the Indianapolis campus take classes via distance education options and don't come to campus. There are several ways to connect with fellow students. One is to travel to campus for a social event sponsored by [|ALISS], SLIS-Indy's student organization. If that is not feasible for you, explore some online options. One of these options is Facebook, where there is an [|unofficial student and alumni group] for SLIS students in Indianapolis. It is also possible to begin student groups on a number of other social networking sites, such as Twitter and Ning.

It is essential that all students join the [|slis-indy listserv]. This is the listserv that is used by faculty and staff to communicate essential information to students, such as course offerings, meeting and event information, and student advising information, as well as information about job possibilities for students before and after graduation and other topics of interest.
