Indianapolis Spirit & Place Festival
Reaching 20,000 people each November, the Indianapolis Spirit & Place Festival uses new, innovative workshops and programs to increase civic engagement and make Central Indiana a better place. At this event, students often work alongside other neighborhood organizers, administrating activities focused on physical activity and wellness. In recent years, community health education and health and physical education students have interacted with children and adults, creating indoor obstacle courses and teaching fun activities such as Frisbee and hula hooping.
Special Olympics Indiana

This tournament hosts approximately 400 athletes and their families in a day of fun and competitive basketball. Student organizers recruit and supervise over 200 volunteers who participate in fun and educational activities with the Special Olympics athletes and manage the operations of the tournament.
Kinesiology students also volunteer to assist in the implementation of other Special Olympic state events including bowling, golf, competitive walking and training activities.
