In addition to this celebration, SIUE is partnering with the City of Belleville and Southwestern Illinois College to support local reform and advancement. As part of this effort, the university will establish the IRIS Center.
The university also plans to begin addressing a critical shortage of forensic scientists. SIUE is establishing partnerships with the Illinois State Police and the City of Belleville to implement this program.
The school of engineering also received the Rising Star Award in the ASHRAE 2022 Design Competition. This award recognizes SIUE’s commitment to diversity.
