Hoosiers for Higher Education

Student Involvement

Student participation is critical to HHE’s success. Hundreds of students work throughout IU’s eight campuses to spread the word about HHE and to raise awareness of the importance of supporting higher education by promoting HHE’s Annual Statehouse Visit. Membership in HHE is free, and you can join now.

Meet Some of Your Student Advocates

James Bonsall
“Through HHE I’ve learned that our legislators have a passion for the university, and we need to reinforce that with our calls, visits, e-mails, and letters. The education and research going on at all of the IU campuses benefit every person in the state, and I know that our local legislators appreciate the impact of Indiana University.”

"I became involved with HHE after I joined IUSA and it's been an eye opening experience. IU does so much for its students, employees, the cities that are home to each campus, and the overall state. HHE has made me realize how important it is to get involved and voice the need for continued support from the legislature."
