Hundreds of Redbirds flocked to Chicago’s Navy Pier on Wednesday for a new event that transported alumni back to campus through interactive experiences and historical artifacts.

Illinois State University’s A Normal Tradition in Chicago event drew nearly 300 alumni and friends to Navy Pier’s Crystal Gardens. They explored several interactive experiences throughout the Crystal Gardens, most created by arts technology students and faculty and the University’s Dr. Jo Ann Rayfield Archives.

The event was hosted by Alumni Relations. Find an event in your area by visiting the Alumni Relations website.
