August is always one of the more exciting months on campus as we welcome new and returning Redbirds to Illinois State University. This August was especially exciting as we welcomed our biggest freshman class since 1986! Check out some of the best tweets, videos, and posts from move-in, #RedbirdWelcome, #FestivalISU, the beginning of the football season and much more!

❤️THE LOVE BENCH HAS A NEW, PERMANENT HOME!❤️
.
The bench had to be moved due to the #bscrevitalization to ensure its safe keeping, but is now located near the Bowling and Billiards Center and the new main entrance to campus.
