Thank you for your interest in hosting a Spread the Red Student Send-off Party!
Student send-off parties offer a wonderful opportunity for alumni to impact current and future students at Illinois State. As a host, you will help Illinois State continue to attract the best and brightest students - a very tangible and valuable contribution to the University. Send-off parties offer an extra personal touch that will help us continue to build our reputation as Illinois’s flagship institution.
Hosting a student send off party is a gratifying experience! These events are a chance for students to network with other students and alumni, to find out more about the university that they will attend in the fall, and for alumni to welcome students as they join our Illinois State University family.
Although campus may look a little different today, your experiences on campus and as an alumnus/a are extremely valuable to incoming students. This is an opportunity for you to share your pride in ISU and begin that same pride in our newest students!
