The school will also offer free dental screenings and sealants with the support of SEAL Indiana, a statewide dental program that provides oral health services to children who do not have adequate access to dental care. In 2015 alone, the program treated more than 1,870 children.

Mentors work in teams to help new students adjust to life on campus and make the most out of their first year experience. Currently, incoming international students can sign up to be matched with a mentor.
