University Academic Affairs is charged with casting an academic vision, creating and implementing academic priorities, and leading the academic endeavors of the University. The Chief Academic Officer works closely with the academic leaders in Indiana Wesleyan’s College of Adult and Professional Studies, College of Arts and Sciences, and Wesley Seminary.
Additionally, the desire of University Academic Affairs is to create the best environment possible for learning and growth to occur. This happens through the inclusion of transformational learning in each of our academic programs, the promotion of academic excellence in our classrooms, the systematic assessment and improvement of student learning, and the continued development of our faculty in teaching, mentoring, and scholarship.
Academic Vision for Indiana Wesleyan University

The Grants and Sponsored Programs Office connects IWU faculty, administrators, and staff with external funding to support research, professional growth, and institutional goals.
We provide support and guidance throughout the life cycle of a grant that includes working with faculty and staff to identify suitable grants, submitting applications, setting up the grant award, managing awarded funds, and closing out the award upon completion.
PIVOT is an international grants database that is updated in real time with current grant seeking opportunities. Every member of the IWU community can set up a free profile to research potential grants to apply for. You can search this database on your own or reach out to our office and we will conduct a detailed search for you.
