Passing of Professor Emeritus Ernie Schusky
Posted December 19, 2019
We are saddened to announce the death of Dr. Ernie Schusky on Dec. 12. Ernie was truly the foundation of our department, the first anthropologist hired by SIUE who then built SIUE Anthropology. In recent years Ernie and his wife Mary Sue were extremely generous in their support, financial and other, of SIUE Anthropology our Native American Studies program.

As his obituary shows, Ernie was a prolific scholar. In addition, Ernie was a really nice guy, and we were lucky to know him. We will miss you, Ernie!
