Multi-day event includes speakers, science exploration, education, entertainment, and eats!
The University of Southern Indiana is excited to announce a free and open-to-the-public multi-day event, Solarpalooza, culminating with the Total Solar Eclipse on April 8, 2024. The event will begin at 7 PM Sunday, April 7, with a talk by trailblazing electrical engineer, retired NASA astronaut, and Girl Scout alum Joan Higginbotham in the Screaming Eagles Arena as part of the Romain College of Business Innovative Speaker Series, followed by a full day of experiential learning and engagement on Monday, April 8—the day of the eclipse. USI will be in the direct path of the moon passing between the sun and Earth, darkening skies in totality for over three minutes around 2:02 PM.
With more than 1,400 acres of campus, USI will offer unobstructed sky views and access to educators and exploration that uniquely position the University as the prime location for viewing the eclipse and a day of solar system excitement. Activities will appeal to current and prospective students, alumni, and the broader community, with music, food trucks, expert presentations from the 16th annual Interdisciplinary Colloquium, "Eclipse," and hands-on learning opportunities.
