Take full advantage of the rich array of academic programs and majors, seek out the advising and counseling assistance available through a number of offices on campus, take part in experiential learning opportunities (e.g., internships, service learning, and study abroad), get to know people from a diverse array of cultures and life experiences, get involved in one or more of our many student organizations, and avail yourself of student support programs and social activities.

x Student Government Student Government
Welcome to IPFW, and thank you for joining the IPFW community.
The Indiana–Purdue Student Government Association (IPSGA) would like to inform you about how IPSGA operates and a few of the many programs and services it provides for you and the rest of the IPFW student body.
IPSGA is composed of four branches:
• The Executive Branch, which consists of four elected officers: the student body president, the vice president of legislation who presides over the Student Senate, the vice president of finance who is responsible for the IPSGA budget and is the office manager, and finally the vice president of programming who brings exciting socially oriented events to IPFW and presides over the Student Activities Board (SAB).
• The Legislative Branch, which is comprised of student senators responsible for allocating monies from the senate discretionary fund and approving legislation that governs IPSGA. Members of the Student Senate can either seek appointment directly from their college, school, or division’s chair or become one of 20 senators at-large by obtaining and completing a petition from the IPSGA office or website at ipfw.edu/stugov.
• The Programming Branch, is comprised of student members responsible for providing programming and activities that advance the purposes of IPSGA. Members of SAB can seek appointment by completing a petition from the IPSGA office or at ipfw.edu/stugov
• The Judicial Branch, comprised of Judicial Court justices appointed by the student body president, is responsible for reviewing and interpreting the IPSGA constitution. The Judicial Court justices are also IPSGA’s acting arbitrators for situations in which discrepancies relative to IPSGA arise.
IPSGA represents the IPFW student body in an official capacity and has “pledged to uphold the students’ rights and ideals.” IPSGA serves as a liaison between the IPFW student body and the IPFW administration, faculty, and staff by addressing students’ concerns regarding the operations of aforementioned university entities.
There are numerous university-wide committees that IPFW would like to offer to IPFW students. The university-wide committees draft and dictate IPFW policy concerning just about everything at IPFW, so if you are interested in becoming a dialogue partner and voicing your opinions or ideas regarding university issues and your education, please seek a committee appointment from the IPFW student body president.
IPSGA strongly encourages your involvement in both campus happenings and the overall IPFW student life. IPSGA is your government, and the continued success of IPSGA is intimately connected to the degree of your support. With a minimal commitment of only a few hours a week, you can help shape the present and future of IPFW. Your questions, comments, and concerns are an integral part of IPSGA’s ability to exist as an effective voice of the IPFW student body.

Senate Document SD 08-6, (Approved, 2/9/2009), (Amended and Approved, 9/13/2010) x 1 IPFW Statement on Civility November 12, 2001 Revised December 10, 2007
Indiana University–Purdue University Fort Wayne is committed to the goals and ethics of academic investigation and education. The foundation of academic pursuit is the process of free inquiry, in which individuals may openly explore and express ideas. Free inquiry requires an environment that encourages open investigation, as well as the educational growth and positive social development of individuals. Therefore, it is important to state explicitly the ethics that define our academic community.
Prominent among the values that define the academic community is civility, which includes mutual respect, fairness, and politeness. Membership in any community requires a concern for the common good for all who belong to that community. Each individual may possess different ideas, as well as different ways of communicating those ideas, particularly in a community as varied and diverse as a university. Because of these differences, respect and civility are integral to maintaining the quality of the academic environment and free inquiry. Respect and civility should therefore be afforded to all individuals regardless of race, ethnicity, gender, age, sexual orientation, disability, religion, family status, socioeconomic level, educational background, veteran status, or position at the university. IPFW Statements on Civility and Diversity
Because it is not possible to establish a set of rules or guidelines that will address every issue of civility, all members of the academic community are called upon to promote and value this ethic of common respect and civility. Ultimately, such a community-wide concern will assure the continuation of a free and open exchange of ideas. Senate Document SD 07-5 (Substitute Resolution)
IPFW Statement on Diversity
Indiana University–Purdue University Fort Wayne is committed to creating an environment that enhances learning by recognizing the inherent worth of all individuals at the university. Diversity stimulates creativity, promotes the exchange of ideas, and enriches campus life. The term diversity encompasses differences of culture, background and experience among individuals and groups. Such differences include, but are not necessarily limited to, differences of race, ethnicity, color, gender, sexual orientation, class, age, and disabilities, as well as political and religious affiliation, and socioeconomic status.
2 IPFW Statement on Integrity IPFW Statement on Integrity
We as a university community are committed to integrity and ethical conduct. We foster an environment that nurtures and supports the complementary concepts of freedom and responsibility. Paramount to our commitment is continued validation and support of the highest ethical standards of equity, fairness, and confidentiality. We respect differences and embrace diversity. We are committed to equitable treatment and mutual respect for all members of the IPFW community.
We respect both individual rights and the public interest. We encourage a learning environment in which open and free pursuit of knowledge takes place and individuals share their personal convictions without imposing them on others. Additionally, we embrace the ideal of freedom of expression for faculty, staff, and students in their academic work and as citizens of the university. The professional contributions of all individuals involved are fully and accurately acknowledged.
It is the responsibility of the entire IPFW community to honor the principles of ethics and academic integrity. Students and faculty have the right to expect their work to be assessed on its academic merit. All members of the IPFW community are expected to espouse academic honesty and every individual is responsible for upholding this expectation. Ethical and honest behavior is required in all actions that support IPFW’s academic mission.
IPFW takes seriously its responsibility to the citizens of Indiana. All faculty, students, and staff of the university will be responsible stewards of the public trust.
Working with our community partners, we share knowledge and resources for reciprocal benefit and advancement. IPFW faculty and staff pledge to uphold the highest ethical standards while providing an education of the highest academic quality.
2 3 Framework for the IPFW Baccalaureate Degree
Students who earn a baccalaureate degree at IPFW will be able to apply their knowledge to the needs of an increasingly diverse, complex, and dynamic world. To that end, IPFW continually develops and enhances curricula and educational experiences that provide all students with a holistic and integrative education.
The Framework: The IPFW faculty has identified six foundations of baccalaureate education.
t Acquisition of Knowledge: Students will demonstrate breadth of knowledge across disciplines and depth of knowledge in their chosen discipline. In order to do so, students must demonstrate the requisite information- seeking skills and technological competencies.
t Application of Knowledge: Students will demonstrate the ability to integrate and apply that knowledge, and, in so doing, demonstrate the skills necessary for life-long learning.
t Personal and Professional Values: Students will demonstrate the highest levels of personal integrity and professional ethics.
t A Sense of Community: Students will demonstrate the knowledge and skills necessary to be productive and responsible citizens and leaders in local, regional, national, and Framework for the IPFW Baccalaureate Degree international communities. In so doing, students will demonstrate a commitment to free and open inquiry and mutual respect across multiple cultures and perspectives.
t Critical Thinking and Problem Solving: Students will demonstrate facility and adaptability in their approach to problem solving. In so doing, students will demonstrate critical-thinking abilities and familiarity with quantitative and qualitative reasoning.
t Communication: Students will demonstrate the written, oral, and multimedia skills necessary to communicate effectively in diverse settings.
These foundations provide the framework for all baccalaureate degree programs. The foundations are interdependent, with each one contributing to the integrative and holistic education offered at IPFW.
Approved by the IPFW Senate April 10, 2006
4 Philosophy of the First Year
Philosophy of the First Year at Indiana University Purdue University Fort Wayne
The first year for students new to IPFW is a period of transition to the university and, for many, to higher education. The first-year experience at IPFW is designed to encourage students to become independent learners able to articulate and successfully pursue their own educational and personal goals. IPFW programs and services for first-year students are intended to promote student success through to graduation.
Using the Framework for the IPFW Baccalaureate Degree as a guide, IPFW fosters the intellectual and social growth of first-year students. With respect to intellectual growth, students are challenged to develop the skills and abilities necessary to acquire knowledge, apply knowledge, demonstrate critical thinking and problem solving, and communicate with others. With respect to social growth, students are challenged to develop the skills and abilities necessary to evidence personal and professional values and serve as productive and responsible members of complex, multicultural, and globalized communities. Students are supported in their efforts to achieve their goals for intellectual and social growth, and their accomplishments throughout the learning process are celebrated.
IPFW encourages a culture of success among first-year students by emphasizing and encouraging the development of a sense of connection between first-year, first-time students and the institution through an integrated program of: a) rigorous and challenging academic experiences, b) co-curricular activities that augment ability and achievement, and c) extra-curricular activities designed to enrich the overall educational experience. The first-year experience at IPFW begins with the university’s initial contact with a potential first-year student to that student’s successful completion of 30 hours of study.

86 Student Organizations Student Organizations
You can become an active part of the university community by participating in any of the nearly 100 organizations recognized by IPFW. Membership in a campus organization enriches the educational experience, improves leadership ability, enhances academic achievement, and develops social skills. If you would like to organize a group at IPFW, you must develop a constitution in accordance with the approved guidelines. To maintain continued recognition, each organization must annually submit, at the time specified, a Report Form for Student Organizations and an Advisor’s Responsibility Form to the Student Life office. The president and treasurer must also attend training sessions. University administration reserves the right to rescind recognition of any student organization that is not functioning within university policies and procedures. For questions and matters concerning student organizations, contact the Student Life office, Walb Student Union, Room 210, 260-481-6609. For direct links to student organization web sites and email addresses, go to ipfw.edu/stulife. Organizations at IPFW are divided into six categories: club sports, departmental clubs, honorary societies, religious organizations, social Greek organizations, and special-interest clubs.
Club Sports The club sport program offers a unique blend of team and individual sports. Club sports can be organized for competition, while others are more instructional in nature. Teams may compete against other clubs, schools, colleges, or universities. Club sports are governed by regulations of both the Student Life office and the IPFW student code of conduct. Equestrian Team Judo Club Ski and Snowboarding Hockey Club Lifting Club Wrestling Club Jiu-Jitsu Club Rugby Club
Departmental Organizations Departmental groups provide an opportunity to develop a better understanding of their discipline in an informal setting. Members are given the chance to apply what they have learned in the classroom to real- life experiences. Most departments support such groups to extend the classroom experience and promote the practical aspects of their curricula.

Taking Notes
1) Come to class prepared • Read the text prior to class • Be aware of main ideas and concepts • Recognize content specific vocabulary • Have paper and other necessary tools ready 2) Format your notes efficiently • Title and date all notes • Draw a vertical line one-fourth of the way from the left edge o On the left side of the bold line put main ideas of lectures o On the right side of the bold line put supporting details related to their main idea • Indent to help organize related points • Leave plenty of white space; it is easier for the brain to remember what is on the page 3) Take action after the lecture/class • Discuss notes with classmates • Review notes as soon as possible and periodically throughout the semester • Rewrite notes if necessary 4) Additional Suggestions 1) Visit your professor during his or her office hours if something is unclear 2) Use CASA resources and talk to a tutor or writing consultant if necessary 3) Use prior tests to figure out what the professor thinks is important to know and from where his or her test questions come Taking Notes 4) Make friends so that you can study in groups, discuss notes and lectures, and compare notes G R A D U A T E Visit ipfw.edu/stulife Indiana University–PurdueUniversityFort Wayne I ndiana-P urdue StudentGovernmentAssociation
