Video surveillance equipment is scheduled to be installed at the intersection of Cougar Drive and North University Drive on the Edwardsville campus.

The new equipment will be used by Campus Police to protect students, reduce the risk of theft, and reduce damage to property in the area immediately around the intersection.

The cameras will enhance the overall safety and security at Cougar Village, The Gardens, and anyone using the intersection to access the campus.

In accordance with Section II (F) of the University’s Video Surveillance Policy, Vice Chancellor for Administration Rich Walker has approved the installation of the additional security equipment.

Dear Allies,

We are days away from PrideFest 2018! This year’s theme is Remember. Rise. Respect. 

We invite you to represent our University community by walking with us during the Parade on Sunday, June 24 in St. Louis

Safe Zone of SIUE, sponsored by the Office of the Vice Chancellor of Students Affairs, will host a booth at the festival to support the community and to tell visitors great things about our University.

We are looking for volunteers and shift leaders to staff our booth, and help us give away spin-the-wheel prizes. This is a fun time, and the energy at the festival is exciting and positive.

We need volunteers in as little as one-hour increments. Shift leaders are needed in three-hour increments. Shift leaders will serve as a backup to volunteers not able to attrend, assist with setup or takedown and to call authorities in case of an emergency.

For more information, contact Shelley Price-Williams at shewill@siue.edu or Mary Sue Love at marlove@siue.edu. 
Visit the event website for festival information at PrideSTL.

The SIUE STEM Center has partnered with the School of Engineering’s Department of Construction to offer a new “Building Bigger” section of Odyssey Science Camp for students in grades 7-9.

9 a.m.-3:30 p.m.
Monday-Friday, July 16-27
SIUE campus

In “Building Bigger,” campers will be introduced to the science behind construction management as they learn the basics of surveying, planning and quality control. Those skills will be put to use as the camp constructs a truss bridge, tests concrete and maybe even builds a skyscraper!

Odyssey Science Camp also includes two recreational periods and lunch. The camp fee is $350.

To view a complete list of Odyssey Science Camp groups being offered for children ages 7-14, visit siue.edu/summer/camps.
