Kokomo Experience and You

The Kokomo Experience and You

We learn from our experiences. Our professional, social, casual, and formal interactions all play a part in determining who we become as members of society. At Indiana University Kokomo, we’re providing a wealth of opportunities to students, faculty, staff, alumni, and community members to create lifelong learners.

The Kokomo Experience and You (KEY) program began to provide IU Kokomo students with unique, hands-on opportunities to explore the fields they want to enter after graduation. Since its inception, KEY has expanded to include the KEY Academy, where community members can join in the KEY experience by participating in immersive events and travel opportunities; as well as the KEY Center for Innovation, where local businesses, nonprofits and government agencies connect with the IU Kokomo campus.

You hold the KEY to your future – let us help you open the door!
