The KEY Experience

At IU Kokomo, we give you the opportunity to take your learning outside the classroom and into the real world. The Kokomo Experience and You (KEY) initiative offers Cougars the unique chance to gain first-hand, real-world experience and knowledge in the careers and fields they dream of entering.

As a Communication student, you will be able to visit places like the Indiana Statehouse to learn the ins and outs of being a press secretary, tour the Madame Walker Foundation and the Kurt Vonnegut Museum – or, attend a performance of “The Addams Family Musical.” On KEY excursions, you’ll connect with working professionals to learn how the classes you’re taking and the skills you’re developing will open doors to a wide field of careers!
