First-year students took a moment to mark the beginning of their Illinois journey with a group photo before joining the rest of the CEE community on the North Quad to enjoy food, ice cream, and socializing with CEE students, faculty, and staff. 

Nearly 20 CEE Registered Student Organizations (RSOs) set up tables throughout the quad, alongside the CEE Alumni Association, to welcome back students and share more about their organizations and services.

Welcome back, students!
