Back to School
It’s the start of the school year, and students are ready to explore new opportunities.
Package Deadline: Aug. 8, 2019
The Daily Illini produces three back-to-school sections which enlighten and entertain students and parents on a variety of topics. It’s the most comprehensive way to reach students as they come to campus!
Move-In Edition shows students how to decorate their spaces, where stock their refrigerators, and where they should explore around campus before class starts. On Quad Day, thousands of students flock to the Quad to join student organizations, and The Daily Illini will be on-site handing out thousands of copies of the Quad Day edition. Welcome Back Edition is published on a monumental day: the first day of class.
