Illinois State University’s campus offers sublime scenes 365 days a year. The shifting seasons alter the landscape revealing new perspectives of landmarks like Cook Hall and Watterson Towers, and the thousands of trees that call Fell Arboretum home.
University photographers Lyndsie Schlink and Michelle Hassel document all of these changes. They capture moments of beauty on the Quad and elsewhere on campus as snow falls in winter and as the flowers blossom in spring. Check out the slideshow below to compare some of our favorite Illinois State spots at different points in the year (any photographs featuring people were taken before the coronavirus restrictions were implemented).
