We had a lot to celebrate in September. We announced the largest freshman class since 1986. We recognized the largest outright gift commitment in Illinois State history through the naming Wonsook Kim College of Fine Arts and the Wonsook Kim School of Art. We cheered on Redbird football through big win after big win and we watched Redbird volleyball topple nationally-ranked Illinois at home. A new slate of things to look forward to were announced during September as well, including Gamma Phi Circus’ upcoming performance in the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade and the location of a new Multicultural Center.

Check out the best content from social media covering these points of pride and so much more during this month’s Redbird Roundup.
