I Need A (Spring) Break

There are plenty of spring break options Illinois State has to offer. Read about what potential places you can travel to next year while attending ISU!

Study Abroad

Hannah Croci and Tarah Valdez studying abroad in Barcelona, Spain for spring break 2017.

If studying abroad for a semester is way too long or not ideal for you, ISU offers a one-week study abroad program over spring break. Click here to read more about travel destinations, costs and further details.

Alternative Spring Break

ASB 2017 took on Memphis and cleaned up 60,000 lbs of trash.

ASB is a weeklong service opportunity that gives students the chance to give back to communities in need. Students travel to different states across the U.S. to participate in social change. Check out where Redbirds previously traveled and maybe you’ll want to make an impact next year too!

Spring Break with an RSO

These students from STILF traveled to 7 different cities in 2017 to complete different community service projects.

If you join an RSO next year often times they will organize a spring break for your organization whether it be professional development, just for fun or service projects.

Here are just a few examples of what some RSO’s are doing in 2018:

Public Relations Student Society of America: The National Assembly is held during spring break this year in Miami, one student delegate is chosen to go and vote on national bylaws as well as elect the next PRSSA National Board. This provides an opportunity for networking and professional development for students.

STLF (Students Today Leaders Forever): This year students from ISU will travel on a mystery tour. They will start in San Antonio, Texas and travel to 5 additional cities along the way. This is a perfect way to pay it forward and give back to communities in need.

Secondary Dominance (a student A Cappella group): Will be traveling to Chicago to compete in the ICCA semifinals.

Stay on Campus

Depending on where you are living next year, the option to stay on campus is possible. Apartments owned by the University such as Cardinal court, Fell Ave. and School St. will remain open.

Some things to do while staying on campus:

See a movie at the Normal Theater.

Get a workout in at the Rec during limited hours.

Check out what events are going on at the Grossinger Motors Arena.
