One Day, One SIUE Distinguished Alumna and Community Leader
Sara M. Salger, JD
BS Business Administration ’04
Managing Partner, Gori Law Firm
Over the course of her legal career, Sara Salger, JD, has been an advocate for individuals wronged by the actions of others, particularly victims of mesothelioma and lung cancer developed from an exposure to asbestos. A member of The Gori Law Firm since its inception, Salger currently serves as the firm’s managing partner.
“My professional career began as a direct result of choosing SIUE for my undergraduate studies,” said Salger. “While working toward my bachelor’s degree, I worked with an Edwardsville law firm. This position eventually led to full-time employment and started me on the path to where I am today.”
Salger has maintained a strong connection with SIUE since graduation, generously giving her time and financial support to benefit current students. In June 2022, she was appointed to the Southern Illinois University Board of Trustees by Gov. J.B. Pritzker.
“My time as a student gave back to me in many invaluable ways,” explained Salger. “I choose to give back to the University in both time and financial resources, and I would encourage other alumni to do the same.”
