Bring On IU

The Bring on IU event series travels to major metropolitan areas around the country, including Los Angeles, Naples, Chicago, New York City, Washington, D.C., and Indianapolis. No matter where you find us, you’ll have the opportunity to meet outstanding alumni, hear from university leadership, and celebrate our beloved alma mater.

We hope you’ll join us the next time IU rolls into a city near you.

When you register for these events, you may be asked to log in to My IU or sign up for an account. If you need help, contact our support team at 812-856-2746 M–F, 8 a.m.–5 p.m. EDT or email advtech@iu.edu anytime.

Bring On IU: Chicago is your opportunity to engage in a Q&A with producer and attorney Michael E. Uslan, BA’73, MS’ 76, JD’76, whose impressive credits include nearly 100 TV shows and films, including Batman (1989), The Dark Knight (2008), and Joker: Folie à Deux (2024). Uslan will be signing copies of his memoir, The Boy Who Loved Batman (2019), which chronicles his journey from a Batman-loving kid to the executive producer on every modern Batman film. Books will be available for purchase.

The Windy City’s very own Dan Ponce, BS’99, will share the stage with Uslan as the master of ceremonies. Locals will recognize him as the anchor of Chicago’s top-rated morning newscast, WGN Morning News. A multi-hyphenate in his own right, Ponce is the founder of world-renowned (and originally IU-based) a cappella group Straight No Chaser.
