Greetings, Redbirds!
I am excited to begin this edition of our Alumni and Friends Newsletter by sharing the Division of Student Affairs 2020-21 viewbook! This annual publication provides a small snapshot of the exciting initiatives that are happening throughout Student Affairs at Illinois State. While the printed viewbook has been produced for a number of years, this is the first year that a digital version is now available to all of our outstanding alumni and friends. We hope you will enjoy reading these stories.
This year’s viewbook comes as we are busy preparing for a very special day at Illinois State–Birds Give Back. This annual day of giving on Thursday, February 24 is one that we look forward to each year. Our focus areas for this year include:
• supporting community-building efforts in our residence halls,
• increasing access to paid internships for students’ career development,
• and research and innovation related to student engagement and involvement.
We hope that you will participate in Birds Give Back by making your gift to one of these important initiatives or supporting your own passion area in Student Affairs. You can also be part of this exciting day by spreading the word on social media using #BirdsGiveBack.
Thank you in advance for your continued support of the Division of Student Affairs at Illinois State University!
Go Birds!
Levester “LJ” Johnson, Ed.D
Vice President for Student Affairs
