Indiana Campus Compact (ICC) is one of 35 state offices run by Campus Compact. ICC work encompasses a broad range of activities designed to provide tomorrow's leaders with the values and skills they need to be engaged citizens, community leaders, and change makers.

It is through them that students strive to further their sense of community and service, deepen their values and skills of citizenship, and markedly gain the knowledge they need to continue their commitment to the greater good in the workplace while at the same time enriching their academic experience.
