Optional community service project

Saturday – Georgian Room; 10 a.m.

Join fellow alumni leaders and IUAA team members as we assemble care packages for hospital staff at the new IU Health Regional Hospital in Bloomington. Care packages will be presented on behalf of IUAA at a later date to staff in departments or areas that could use a pick me up. We are excited to offer this opportunity and provide some much-needed TLC to IU Health front-line workers. Those opting not to participate in the community service project may enjoy free time before meeting at the DeVault Alumni Center for the annual Alumni Meeting and BBQ starting at noon.
