In addition to the IU and Purdue campuses already connected, recent member campuses to connect to the I-Light network are Notre Dame University, Ball State University, Anderson University, and IU South Bend.

Fiber problems on the Muncie to Richmond leg of the network have been resolved and IU East and Earlham College should be able to connect in the first week of April.  The route to Greencastle and Terre Haute is completed and DePauw will be connecting by mid April, and it is anticipated that Indiana State University and Grace College will be ready to connect by the end of May.

Ivy Tech Community College has indicated they plan to connect their South Bend, Richmond, Sellersburg, Evansville, Ft. Wayne, Terre Haute, and Central Office campuses to I-Light probably sometime this summer.
