SIU President Randy Dunn has named Randall G. Pembrook, PhD, as the ninth chancellor in Southern Illinois University Edwardsville’s history. The selection is pending formal SIU Board of Trustees approval, and Pembrook will officially assume his duties in early August. An official introduction and reception will be scheduled for the beginning of the academic year.

“Randy is an SIUE alumnus with extensive background and experience in higher education and has family ties to southwestern Illinois," Dunn said. "He is an outstanding fit for SIUE, who possesses the necessary skills to lead the University toward even greater successes in the years ahead.”

Register Now for SIUE THATCamp 2016

Registration is open for the SIUE THATCamp 2016. Registration is $10 and open to anyone who is interested in participating. 

Saturday, June 11--Sunday, June 12
Morris University Center Conference Center
To register, please visit SIUE2016THATCamp. 

This digital humanities unconference is a small, open, inexpensive meeting where humanists and technologists of all skill levels learn and build together.

The breakout sessions are loosely formed prior to the conference and finalized the first day of the unconference. This allows for a dynamic, collaborative atmosphere as opposed to a formal, rigid and competitive format of a typical conference setting. 

The theme of this year’s THATCamp is “Engaging Communities through Digital Humanities.”

We invite you to come and share your ideas for digital humanities, community and collaboration.

For more information, contact Lora Smallman at siuethatcamp@gmail.com.
