Illinois State University welcomed 4,285 First Time in College (FTIC) students for the 2024-2025 academic year, its largest incoming class in the University’s history, up 3 percent from last year. The new class of students is also the most diverse in school history. Total enrollment is 21,546, marking a 2.7 percent increase over the previous year.

The Illinois State University Office of Equity and Inclusion is proud to launch a new program for the ISU community called “ISU in Conversation.” These open forums will give Redbird faculty, staff, and students the opportunity to discuss themes relevant to campus and to share concerns and suggestions with peers and ISU leadership.

Submissions are now open for the 2025 University Teaching & Learning Symposium hosted by the Center for Integrated Professional Development.

New this year! A combined, supersized Homecoming kickoff for the Redbird community.

The community is invited to provide feedback on the draft of Illinois State’s Hazard Mitigation Plan at a public presentation on September 16, 2024.

In part 1 of a five-part series, we focus on the Higher Learning Commission’s Criterion 1: Mission for Illinois State’s reaccreditation.
