The IRIS Center at Southern Illinois University Edwardsville hosted a Digital Humanities Student Showcase in the fall. The show featured students’ innovative uses of digital methods to conduct research.
This year, Southern Illinois University Edwardsville’s Educational Leadership program selected 10 students for the Illinois School Leadership Pipeline Program (ISLPP). ISLPP is a state initiative that encourages aspiring principals to begin their careers by working in a variety of schools. From large urban districts to smaller rural ones, aspiring principals come from a wide range of communities.
In honor of the opening of the 2022 semester, SIUE Chancellor James T. Minor hosted a late-night breakfast for students. During the ceremony, the community wished the students well on their journey to success.
Students were joined by SIUE faculty, alumni and friends. The event included a ribbon cutting for the Enterprise Holdings Foundation atrium, which was recently renovated with a $1.5 million donation.
SIUE celebrated Native Heritage Month with an in-person and virtual opening ceremony. The event was held in the Meridian Ballroom at the Morris University Center on the Edwardsville campus. It also included a musical performance and an address by Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Several administrators and students will be in attendance.
Earlier in the day, a ribbon cutting took place at the Engineering Building, which features the Enterprise Holdings Foundation atrium. The school of engineering and the foundation joined together for a special ribbon cutting.
SIUE will also observe a winter break from December 23 until January 2. The university will reopen on January 3 with an in-person and virtual celebration.
