The day's events begin at 9:30 a.m. EST and conclude about 3:30 p.m. EST.
"Stateline Hospitality Day is an opportunity to introduce Illinois students to the academic and co-curricular opportunities that await them at Indiana State in a day designed specifically for them," Richard Toomey, director of Admissions, said.
During the day, student visitors will interact with faculty from the academic programs of their choice and learn more about the variety of hands-on experiential learning opportunities available - both in and out of the classroom.
