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.
