Alumni Weekend meets Portraits Gallery!

Last Saturday, Illini 4000 alumni joined the team at Allen Hall for the annual Alumni Ride, this year a 30 mile ride. Riders from 2010 through 2012 joined the 2013 Bike America Team for some of the strongest winds we've ever had during a training ride. Alumni returned to campus and, like always, came together for some delicious Mexican food!Later that day, Directors of the Portraits Project presented their work at the campus YMCA, displaying dozens of new Portraits in both text and video format.Thank you to all who came out and supported us! Below are some photos from both events.As Sean Laude has moved to NYC, he wasn't able to hold up the 2007 fort this year.
