Summer Student Send-Offs
It’s that time of year again – Summer Student Send-Offs for new and returning I
U students! Alumni chapters throughout the state and around the country will be
gathering soon with new and returning IU students from their respective areas for a
Student Send-Off event. Several chapters have already notified us with the date
and details of their Student Send-Off. If you have not notified the Chapters Office,
and are planning a Student Send-Off, please let us know as soon as possible so that
we can assist you with the event. We will be happy to provide your chapter with
a list and/or mailing labels of current IU students and incoming freshmen.
All requests for labels need to be made no later than June 18th. We can also provide
you with nametags, cups, pins, signs, etc., for your local event.
If possible, a staff member may attend your event.
Please fill out the 2005 Student Information Form so we can place you
Student Send-Off on the website and make sure we fill your request in a timely manner.
(The students will be able to move into the Residence Halls on August 24th.
Because of students that move into Bloomington earlier than this, we suggest that
the student send-off be held NO LATER than August 15th.)
