It’s a new year and a new semester. The SIUE community wished the incoming students well in their journey to success.
For this year’s Homecoming, the campus was full of fun and festivities. A late night breakfast for the students was hosted by Chancellor James T. Minor. In addition, the newest campus addition, the Enterprise Holdings Foundation atrium, was featured in the Engineering Building. During a ribbon cutting ceremony, the Enterprise Holdings Foundation donated $1 million to the school.
There were also plenty of other things to occupy the student body’s time, such as the upcoming varsity football game between the Tigers and the Bears, and the opening ceremony for Native Heritage Month. Of course, the real news is that the university is reopening on January 3, 2022.
Other noteworthy events of the day included the City of Sammamish’s announcement of a pending National Day of Service on January 16, 2023 and the City’s release of Kokanee fry at Lake Sammamish State Park. Both of these were a nod to the city’s efforts to improve the environment while promoting diversity.
However, the most important award of the night is the one for the best quality of life. This was in part thanks to the efforts of the Sammamish Board of Commissioners. Among the many tasks the board has undertaken are studying a variety of issues and making recommendations to the Mayor and Council. They are currently in the middle of developing the budget for the next two years.
