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.

Each year we have students that are in need of professional attire for interviews, career fairs, networking events and practicum/co-op/internship experiences.

Unfortunately, not all students have the resources to obtain the appropriate attire for these occasions. This can decrease students’ opportunities and self-esteem.

You can help! Ready to do a little cleaning in your closet?

The Career Development Center is planning to take donations of professional attire items through July 13 in preparation for the fall recruiting season.

We will be accepting both men’s and women’s attire. All items need to be in good condition, clean and ready to be given to students. We are hoping to get a variety of sizes and options, so we can make this service available to any student in need.

Items can include:
• Suits
• Dresses
• Skirts
• Dress Pants/Khakis
• Sweater sets
• Polos
• Blouses
• Belts
• Ties
• Anything that could be worn for a professional event with employers
• Anything that would be appropriate as a starting point for a professional wardrobe

Items can be dropped off at the Career Development Center (CDC), located in the basement of the Student Success Center, room 0281. Please drop off items during regular business hours from 8 a.m.-4:30 p.m., Monday-Friday.

For more information, contact Carrie Smolar at 650-3708.

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.
