Highlights include:

The Homecoming Parade

Spirit Stations

Friday, October 16. These stations present a great opportunity for visitors to grab some cool IU and/or Homecoming swag and get information about all the events in town and around campus. Stop by one of three locations:

  • SpringHill Suites on College Avenue

  • DeVault Alumni Center on 17th Street

The Spirit Stations will be open from 10:00 a.m. until 2:00 p.m.
