About Us

We created sunapsis to make your work (and ours) easier

sunapsis began when former IU employee Jason Baumgartner knew he could build a better tool to manage international student and scholar information. So when he wasn’t working at Indiana University’s Office of International Services, he spent his time developing the sunapsis prototype. Recognizing a revolutionary idea when they saw it, IU began investing heavily in building out the system, which officially launched in 2005.

Now sunapsis is the industry leader. IU licenses sunapsis, which is Greek for “point of contact,” to more than 130 clients nationwide. Our development and support teams continue improving sunapsis, leveraging IU’s international expertise and world-class technological resources. After all, we depend on it, too.
