The Nearly Naked Mile is young tradition to be upheld in late fall each year that benefits Kokomo Urban Outreach. In order to participate in the one-mile walk/run each year, you must supply articles of clothing to be donated.

Annual events include a Campus BBQ, Activities Fair, and Halloween Open House. Another annual event is Take Back the Night/Angel Walk, a one-mile walk that raises awareness for domestic violence. The IU Kokomo American Democracy Project and the Family Service Association of Howard County sponsor the event. It raises money for the FSA’s domestic violence shelter. Participants raised nearly $30,000 in 2011.
