DEAP

Diversity Enrighment and Achievement Program [DEAP] at IUPUI

The Diversity Enrichment and Achievement Program (DEAP) enhances the transition and success of IUPUI students from populations that have been traditionally underrepresented in higher education by addressing academic, social, and personal matters that have an impact on student persistence. DEAP offers intensive retention programming that connects, affirms, guides, and engages students to ensure their success at IUPUI.

DEAP provides a supportive community, programs, and initiatives to aid students’ transition to college and foster the success of students from traditionally underrepresented groups from the first year to graduation.

DEAP Experience 

I have had a great experience with DEAP because everyone is so caring and helpful. In high school, I was the only Indian girl so I did not have the support of people who looked and thought like me. After becoming a DEAP scholar my transition into IUI was very easy and I look forward to coming to this class every week. I have learned so much from my mentor and I am so thankful for all the friends I have made thanks to DEAP.
