Join us for a one-of-a-kind celebration of the founding of Elmhurst University.
On December 6, 1871, Carl F. Kranz and 14 students stepped off a train in Elmhurst. They would go on to establish the institution now known as Elmhurst University.
Join us on December 6, 2021, as we celebrate the pioneering spirit of that first day in the University’s 150-year history.
