Welcome letter

Welcome to Indiana University, and to the spring 2022 edition of the Source Campus Visitor’s Guide!

On behalf of our campus and its surrounding community, we’re glad you’re here. I’m excited to show you a glimpse of what IU has to offer. In the pages that follow, I invite you to take a look at the history and culture of our campus and to discover IU’s legends and traditions (p. 12), explore the beautiful scenery of southern Indiana (p. 16) and learn what students say are the quintessential IU experiences (p. 6).

But this guide is just the beginning of what IU is really about – engaging with the campus and the city is the only way to get the full experience. Take a stroll down Kirkwood Avenue, check out the Eskenazi Museum of Art, catch a basketball game at Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall – whatever feels right to you. But whether you’re a prospective student, an alumnus strolling down memory lane or just a curious visitor, this guide is for you. I thoroughly hope you enjoy your time here – and go Hoosiers!
