Staff, faculty students, and the community worked together to make Illinois State University our newest Redbirds’ new home away from home during this year’s Welcome Week and Move-In.

Once moved in, students have a variety of Welcome Week events to choose from. From the Welcome Week Kickoff and Destination Uptown to the ISU Spirit Picnic and Welcome Week After Dark, students built connections, made new memories, and gained on-site knowledge of the campus before the first week of the fall semester.

Check out some of the best photos and posts from throughout the week!
