Welcome, Class of 2025, to Innovation U!

We are thrilled to invite you to our 2025 Expo, where we celebrate the spirit of going back to college at Innovation U. This year, we are excited to offer a unique experience that combines learning, fun, and collaboration, engagement. Using Sched, our online application, you can sign up for the "courses" that interest you the most and tailor your Expo experience to your passions and goals.

NEW MAJORS for this Year! 

Along with our typical courses, we are introducing two new programs at no additional cost: one for district leaders and another for teachers. These opportunities will allow you to "major" in a particular strand of learning, providing you more time with like-minded colleagues for an extended period and deeper learning.  Don't worry you still get to be a part of Innovation U campus life as we've built in time for you to see our keynote, visit the Vendor Fair and enjoy a full breakfast and lunch! Check out these courses and sign up on Sched soon because registration is limited:

You will have plenty of time to enjoy breakfast and lunch in IU's Student Union dining room and enjoy healthy meals with friends.
  • Don't forget to take a stroll to the Vendor Fair, sponsored by the Expo club where you will have opportunities to engage with over 20 + vendors who are ready to listen to you and share their tools with you. There will- who knows - some may even leave you with some goodies for your dorm room 😉!
