Over the past month, Muslims around the world were unified through fasting from sunrise to sunset. Fasting is one the five pillars, or tenets, of Islam, alongside having faith in one God, praying five times a day, giving charity, and making the pilgrimage to Mecca, Saudi Arabia (if one is physically, mentally and financially able to). There are many Hoosiers who participate in Ramadan. According to Indiana Historical Society Press, Muslim sects have established themselves in Indianapolis as early as 1926. Today, a culturally diverse Muslim population calls Indianapolis home. At IUPUI, the Muslim Student Association (MSA), Pakistani Student Association (PSA), Middle Eastern Student Association (MESA) and IUPUI International Club have all hosted iftars— meals consumed when breaking the fast, traditionally starting with a date or water and in a group setting— over the past month.
The Undergraduate Student Government (USG) at IUPUI cites their mission as being, “committed to improving the student experience by representing the student body, supporting student-led organizations on campus, addressing student concerns."

While USG does provide support to students, their $85,000 budget for the 2022-2023 school year has been underutilized, diluting the impact the organization could be making at IUPUI. There is a fundamental disconnect between USG and the needs of organizations at IUPUI, one that USG acknowledges themselves.

Maybe the reason you were there was as simple as the day you were born, a common cold, the flu, a broken bone, a check-up, chickenpox, or even receiving a shot. If you’ve been to a hospital for any of the reasons listed above, then maybe you’ve been to Riley Children’s Hospital in downtown Indianapolis. Even if you haven’t been to Riley, you’ve most likely heard about Jagathon, IUPUI’s dance marathon.

The name change is due to IU wanting to make the change more apparent and create a single identity for the two schools. This has come with reactions from students at IUPUI. “I think there could be small problems with it when there’s already buildings of the same name in Bloomington,” said one student.
