Alumni
We have completed what was a wonderful and highly successful celebration of our 50th anniversary. Now our alma mater is moving into the next 50 years with great strides. You may have seen the recent announcement of our acceptance into the Ohio Valley Conference, as we continue the transition to Division One status. Construction is occurring across campus, with the renovation of the Vadalabene Center in its initial phase, while the Student Success Center is starting to appear from the ground adjacent the Morris University Center. The Office of Alumni Affairs is taking great strides as well, building for the future. The on-line community (Cougar Tracks) is in place, a student alumni association (STAT) will be in operation in August, and the list of businesses partnering with us to provide a members discount continues to grow. We’re also launching the SIUE Alumni Hall of Fame, an opportunity to recognize a greater number of our more than 80,000 graduates. Please consider those individuals you know who might be deserving of such recognition. Nomination forms will be available on line. I would also hope you would want to be a part of the process of impacting the future of our organization and this university. I encourage you to become a member of the Alumni Association where there are a myriad of ways to make a difference now and for generations of Cougars to come.
