As students are now returning their textbooks, this is the busiest time of the year for Textbook Service.

Please consider volunteering at Textbook Service through Friday, May 4. We would truly appreciate the help.

Your job will be to assist students in re-shelving their books to the proper location. It is a great opportunity to talk to our students, hear how their semester went and learn how they are doing at SIUE.

To sign up, visit Volunteer Opportunities.

President and founder of LungSmarter Foundation, Jaris Waide, has set a multi-year goal of raising $50,000 for local asthma awareness and symptom prevention education.

This will be her team’s 18th year participating in what she has dubbed the “Alphabet Walk.” Starting with “A is for Asthma” in 2000.

The letter and theme for 2018 is  “R” - “Revitalize, with proper hydration, eating good nutrition, along with doing regular fitness - right for you!”
