About SIUE

Ahmaud Arbery. George Floyd. Breonna Taylor. Their names have been added to the ever-growing list of those whose lives were cut short because of fear and hatred. We mourn with their loved ones and join in support of others lost to similar actions. For descendants of enslaved Africans, indigenous populations whose ancestors have experienced cultural erasure, refugees fleeing war-torn environments, immigrants navigating acculturative stress and third culture individuals, the cumulative effects of racial trauma are real and profound. We recognize that racial trauma is a devastating phenomenon and we stand in solidarity with these individuals....

We want to begin with our appreciation for your patience and flexibility as we have moved through each phase of this pandemic. Our priorities remain the same. We are focused on the health and safety of our community while remaining committed to serving our students with the excellence that is a hallmark of SIUE. You have likely heard by now that Gov. J.B. Pritzker announced that all regions in Illinois entered Phase 4 of the Restore Illinois plan on Friday, June 26. Our Cougar Commitment plan provides both broad and specific actions that will allow the campus to resume some activities for the remainder of the summer and this fall. We know so many members of our community are looking forward to the return to campus and the opportunity to work together and support one another in person...

Much has changed at SIUE and in the state of Illinois since the launch of the University's 2013 Strategic Plan. Currently, a group of 120 people from across campus is reviewing and revising an initial draft of the Plan’s six goal statements. Committee feedback will then be submitted for review and input by the campus community. The Plan will go into effect during the 2019-2020 academic year and will remain valid until 2025.

The Innovation Grant supports concepts and proposals submitted by SIUE faculty and staff that explore new possibilities for long-term benefit to the University community. Funds are awarded each spring and annual progress reports are solicited for multi-year proposals.
