INDS Service Cords Program
Earn recognition for your service to the INDS program
This is a reminder that we are collecting responses for your service to INDS. When you have earned 75 points, you will receive recognition with a special cord to wear at graduation signifying the time and talent you provided to Interdisciplinary Studies.
The breakdown will be (but is not limited to) the following ways to earn your service cord. Additional items can be added to the list, and special circumstances for individualized service will be considered.
