Your favorite Event-Con has probably gone virtual, and ISU is no different.
Presenting the first ever ReggieCon!
Illinois State University is bringing the “Con” tradition to Normal, with ReggieCon!
ReggieCon 2020-2021 focuses on the depictions of race, gender, and ethnicity in comics, graphics novels, movies, and other popular media.
