A message from the President

Homecoming is always a special time at Illinois State, a time to honor traditions and a time to welcome alumni and friends back to campus. I hope you will join me for this spectacular celebration at Illinois State University October 13-19.

The University celebrated its first Homecoming in 1916 and the festivities have gotten bigger and better in the decades since then. Homecoming organizers have put together a wonderful lineup of events and activities to celebrate Illinois State’s rich history.

Students, faculty, staff, alumni and community members will find plenty of fun and excitement during the week with musical performances, a parade, tailgating, exciting Redbird football action, a grand event at the soon-to-be-opened Illinois State University Alumni Center and much more. Help us "Fire it Up"and make this year’s Homecoming celebration the best one yet!
