3. Veterans Day Bell Ringing Ceremony
Honor the veterans on campus and in our community at the annual bell-ringing ceremony at McCullough Plaza. On Nov. 11, 1919, at the 11th hour, 11 chimes of the church bell rang out and 11 rounds of artillery were fired to mark the beginning of the armistice that was signed by the allies of World War I. IU Southeast commemorates that moment with a ceremonial bell ringing to honor American veterans of all wars.
Saturday, Nov. 11
10:45 a.m. | McCullough Plaza
