The Southern Illinois University Edwardsville seal prominently features a torch, the symbol of both enlightenment and knowledge. Interlocking laurel leaves surrounding the torch are a time-honored symbol of education. The year of SIUE’s founding (1957) is depicted within the banner enveloping the seal. The stars below the banner represent SIUE’s three campuses– The Edwardsville campus, the School of Dental Medicine in Alton, and the East St. Louis Center.
