In June, we celebrated a great season of Redbird Baseball, alumni returned to Bloomington-Normal to give back during #RedbirdImpact Weekend, our newest Redbirds were welcomed to campus during Preview, and we came together to bring a new “pawfficer” to campus. Check out the top pictures, videos, and tweets from these moments and more in this month’s Redbird Roundup!
Happy Monday, #Redbirds! We hope you're enjoying your summer so far! pic.twitter.com/ilCn08fqmf

As a part of Illinois Art Station’s Youth Mural Project Reveal, local youth used their artistic talents to create a mural that unveils their thoughts on community, culture, and social issues.

Illinois State welcomed new Redbirds to campus during Preview.
This historic @RedbirdBaseball season has come to an end in the @NCAA Tournament. With 36 wins and a share of the @MVCsports regular-season title, it's safe to say that we are #RedbirdProud. #BackTheBirds https://t.co/Z2w5Ccqcgp pic.twitter.com/Fhh0KpBXbd

Exactly 30 yrs ago, I got this T-shirt as a 3rd grader at the @ILReadCouncil Young Authors Conference at @IllinoisStateU. Here's a shout out to the workshop that gave me confidence in my craft, which I carried into my PB debut: https://t.co/4cFFHN7MfR @IllinoisReads @SCBWI_IL pic.twitter.com/C74rzEGgv7

You did it! #SageIsComing With 22 days left in our fundraiser we now work on prepping our #FutureRedbird for move-in. Keep sharing Sage's story & we'll post as she shops at Bark Bath & Beyond, and maybe we can raise a little extra to make Sage feel right at home #YourRedbirdLife pic.twitter.com/85Gv4T3yG1
