The Redbird community worked together to make Illinois State University a safe and inviting home away from home during this year’s Welcome Week and move-in.

Thanks to the support of faculty, staff, and community partners, students have a move-in experience that is as seamless and safe as possible. Once moved in, students have a variety of Welcome Week events to choose from. Welcome Week is designed to build connections between students and the campus, assist them in learning about what it means to be a Redbird, and gain some on-site knowledge of the campus and its resources.

Check out this collection of photos and social media posts from Welcome Week and move-in 2020!

Bamboo for Welcome Week

Bamboo during Welcome Week is an ISU tradition. Students picked up their kit to assemble their own bamboo plant in a custom Welcome Week jar.
