Spring Is Here!


It is down to the last few weeks of school, and Spring is officially here! No more 30 degree weather, let's hope. People in Indiana really appreciate warm weather because of our harsh winters; even when it is barely 60 degrees, everyone comes outside in their shorts. 













Warm weather means using the IU's beautiful outdoor spaces. Some of the best outdoor communal spaces to sit, study, and soak up the sun are the Showalter Fountain, the Arboretum and Dunn Meadow. The Showalter Fountain sits in the middle of the Fine Arts Square and features a sculpture of Venus, designed by Robert Laurent, a former IU faculty member. The Arboretum is a peaceful place, at the site of the old stadium and Little 500 track, full of various types of trees, which are beautiful and provide lovely shade. Dunn Meadow is a huge stretch of land just outside of the IMU that is often the place for concerts, fundraisers, and sporting activities.
