IUPUI is the 3rd largest school in the state of Indiana, and is primarily composed of commuter students, making it a very difficult campus to reach with the Gospel. Very few students stay after class and there is very little community on this campus, so having weekly meetings and Bible studies are a challenge, let alone getting students to come to a campus-wide event.
