Fostering success

Our new First Saluki Center is a one-stop spot where first-generation students easily access the help, resources, mentorship and peer support they need to succeed.

Make Summer Special

Check out the myriad summer youth camps SIU offers. Children can explore new interests or enhance skills during academic, athletic, craft, music and art and design camps or enjoy the great outdoors in nature camps.

This is SIU at 150

Thanks to over 26,000 donors, our 3-year Forever SIU campaign has surpassed its goal, raising $75.3 million with 7 months to go. Salukis of today and tomorrow are the grateful beneficiaries. Almost $40 million will support scholarships; most of the rest is for academic programs.

Saluki Legacy

Hannah Colbrook is the 2019 Student Employee of the Year for SIU and the entire state of Illinois. She’s also the 10th Saluki in her family. For three generations, they’ve experienced the SIU difference. You can, too.
