Eclipse Watch
CIU students join a friend to take in a
total solar eclipse on Aug. 21. The start
of classes was delayed by a day as the
CIU family gathered on Sessions Field
for a watch party featuring burgers,
Pelican’s SnoBalls, and games, while
songs with sun and moon themes
played in the background.
