One Day, One SIUE
April 23, 2026
Southern Illinois University Edwardsville will host its fifth annual One Day One SIUE celebration on Thursday, April 23, 2026, bringing together alumni, students, faculty, staff and community partners for an evening of philanthropy, recognition and Cougar pride! Guided by the theme “Soaring to New Heights,” the signature giving day highlights the collective impact of generosity across the SIUE community and supports initiatives that expand opportunity for students and strengthen regional partnerships.
The celebration will take place at the new SIUE Health Sciences Complex and will feature live music from Charles Glenn Group, networking and engagement with campus partners and programs supported through philanthropy. As part of the event, SIUE will honor President of Anderson Hospital Lisa Spencer, RN, FACHE, BSN ’93, MSN ’01, as the 2026 Distinguished Community Leader in recognition of her leadership and the transformative partnership between Anderson Healthcare and SIUE’s School of Nursing.
