Family Friendly Resources @ IUAs part of Indiana University's effort to become more "family friendly" for faculty, staff and students, the Office for Women's Affairs (OWA) has compiled a listing of resources, both on and off campus in Bloomington, that may be of use to families of all kinds. Issues such as elder care, child care, maternity, and more are a growing concern for members of this community, and we wish to provide as much information as possible about what is available at the university and in the city of Bloomington. Another great site to check out for lots of family resources is the Commission on Multicultural Understanding (COMU)'s Academic Community Support.
