You gotta Regatta!
It’s a phrase all Jaguars know and love — and hear throughout the entire month of September. With our Regatta student team gearing up for the 15th annual canoe race and festival, they’re looking for passionate, school-spirited Jags to help execute the Indy canal’s most exciting event. There are a variety of opportunities for students to choose from.
Show off your rowing skills in the race
Experience all of the spills and thrills of Regatta from the seat of a canoe. IU Indianapolis students, faculty, staff and alumni are invited to form teams of four rowers and up to two handlers.
Team registration fee: $150
Register before Tuesday, Sept. 5 to claim your team’s spot.
Make your mark as a leader
As part of Regatta’s general board, you will promote the race, plan and execute Fall Regatta Week, recruit volunteers and gain unique leadership skills for a high-scale event.
Applications close by Aug. 26.
Volunteer with your peers
Students interested in volunteering can sign up for two-hour shifts on Practice Day, Setup Day and Race Day.
As a thank you, volunteers will get a free Regatta t-shirt, a meal and credit for their service hours.
Browse open volunteer slots. Sign-ups will close on Sept. 5.
Compete for the crown
Students who want to serve on the Regatta Court will have to apply and then go through an interview process to be selected. Court members will then participate in Fall Regatta Week activities and help judge the dog costume contest — all leading up to the crowning ceremony on race day.
The two students crowned as Regatta Royalty will each receive a $500 scholarship. All applicants are welcome regardless of gender, major or campus organization involvement.
Review the application requirements and apply before Aug. 27.
Without student support and involvement, Regatta would not have become an IU Indianapolis tradition that sees thousands of people come out to cheer on and enjoy our university’s one-of-a-kind canoe race.
