Where: Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall, 1001 E. 17th Street, Bloomington, IN 47408

Why attend? This ceremony in IU Bloomington’s legendary basketball arena is the perfect way to launch your freshman year. Receive your official IU Promise pin. Hear from the head of IU Bloomington, Interim Provost John S. Applegate, and other campus leaders. Learn about on-campus organizations and resources for undergraduates. Enjoy music and refreshments.

What to wear? Come as you are! Although there will be some pomp and circumstance on the stage, casual attire for all attendees is fine, and in fact, recommended.
