Redbirds explore opportunities with on-campus internships

Five students posing

Redbirds landed internships across the country and across campus over the summer. We interviewed students who held on-campus internships to see what they learned, what they worked on, and how they’re following their passions outside of the classroom.

Then and now: Welcome Week

The Index yearbook documents that freshmen in 1955 had a convocation and box lunch, campus tours, a watermelon picnic, and church receptions. The highlight was an all-school mixer where new students mingled with upperclassmen.

Efforts to welcome incoming students has been an ISU tradition for decades. What’s changed is the type of activities that get students connected before classes begin in the fall.
