Kelley Diversity Champions are students who support their peers through education about ongoing inclusion efforts and diversity initiatives. They serve as an extension of the Graduate Office of Diversity & Inclusion and act as liaisons for student organizations and cohorts, striving to ensure that all backgrounds and cultures are embraced and respected.
Deepen your commitment to diversity and inclusion through the educational assignments, workshops, cultural events, and club activities that qualify graduate students for the Kelley Diversity Ally Certificate.
This annual event enables students to learn how they can fast-track their accounting careers with the one-year MS in Accounting with Data and Analytics. This all-expense-paid weekend gives students from diverse backgrounds the chance to meet with current MSADA students, alumni, faculty, and Kelley leaders so they can find out more about the program and experience IU Bloomington.
The Diversity Workshop, held in the fall, provides an opportunity for prospective MBAs to learn about Kelley's commitment to diversity and inclusion and to understand how to optimize essential elements of the application for the review process. Prospective students can combine the workshop with Preview Day, which offers an inside view of the Full-Time MBA Program. Registration information will be available prior to these fall events.

Kelley students are part of the Indiana University cultural support network that extends across the Bloomington campus. In 1999, IU established the Office of the Vice President for Diversity, Equity, and Multicultural Affairs (OVPDEMA) to cultivate a diverse, inclusive environment that supports equal access, participation, and representation on all IU campuses.
When you explore IU’s cultural centers and organizations, you’ll find educational resources, safe spaces for meaningful conversations, study spaces, and many celebrations, events, and recreational activities. We encourage you to explore these organizations during your time at Kelley.
Some of our students also get involved in IU Bloomington student government
If you experience or witness harassment on the IU campus, contact the Incident Team with the IU Division of Student Affairs. You may also benefit from contacting the Kelley Bias Incident Support Ombudsperson at KBISO@indiana.edu if the incident involved a Kelley student or member of the faculty or staff. The ombudsperson is a Kelley professor who provides students with safe and confidential support as they consider how to navigate incidents of bias or discrimination. The professor does not provide legal advice or investigate claims, but helps students evaluate their options.
Learn about upcoming events and resources that support diversity, equity, and inclusion within graduate programs at the Kelley School of Business by subscribing to the monthly e-newsletter prepared by Kelley’s Graduate Office of Diversity & Inclusion.
