Housing and Dining Reunion

Thursday, June 4, 2020 - Sunday, June 7, 2020

HOUSING AND DINING Reunion:

Former students and staff are always welcome to come back to campus for a visit.  Every 5 years we host a reunion where several hundred former staff members come back to EIU.  There are some activities that bring everyone together but the real fun is all the “mini reunions”.  This is the perfect opportunity to get your group together.
