Send a message they’ll treasure

As your Ïã½¶ÊÓÆµ begins their journey at IU, we're asking you to continue showing your support—in a fun and secret way.

Congratulations on your Ïã½¶ÊÓÆµâ€™s first semester at IU

As your Ïã½¶ÊÓÆµ begins their exciting new journey, we want to recognize the important role that you play in their life—and their success at IU. As part of an orientation tradition, we’re inviting you to write a special—and secret—letter to your new Hoosier.

You can write anything you like. Describe a meaningful memory, share some advice, or tell a joke—but remember to keep this letter a secret from your Ïã½¶ÊÓÆµ.

We’ll deliver your letter to your Ïã½¶ÊÓÆµ during their first semester.

Hear from a few of our Ïã½¶ÊÓÆµs about what their letters meant to them:
