Memorial Day, a federal holiday held the last Monday in May, is the nation’s foremost annual day to mourn and honor its deceased service men and women.

Memories!

If you or your organization ever participated in “Chalk the Walk” please post your photos!

“Chalk the Walk” returns to the Oak Grove for its 34th year!

Students from across campus come together to transform the sidewalks into colorful displays of creativity—just in time before spring showers wash the artwork away.

In celebration of IUP’s 150th anniversary, the public is invited to stop by FRIDAY, May 1, to see the incredible work created by our talented students! Food trucks will arrive at 3:00 p.m., with food and beverages available for purchase.
