SIUE East St. Louis Charter High School's (CHS) annual Angel Tree giving campaign is underway.

This is your opportunity to make this holiday season a memorable one for the students at CHS.

As winter approaches, the CHS staff would like to ensure that all of its students experience the joy of the holiday season. This year, the goal is to give every CHS student a new sweatshirt and to give additional winter gear to the neediest students.

Unfortunately, our students have needs year round for things like school supplies and school uniforms. This year, please consider making a recurring donation that will help to make CHS students successful all year long.

Through Friday, Dec. 14, we will be accepting donations to the Angel Tree giving program. Click here to donate to CHS Angel Tree online using a credit card.

We also accept cash or checks. Checks should be made payable to the SIUE Foundation and sent to Anne Moore, CHS treasurer, Campus Box 1049. Please drop off any cash donations to Moore in Alumni Hall, Room 1134.

The SIUE Foundation is a 501(c)(3) organization. Contributions are tax-deductible to the extent allowable by law.

For more information, contact Moore at 650-3354 or anmoore@siue.edu.

For students looking for a quiet, safe and comfortable spot to finish a research paper or prepare for finals, Lovejoy Library will be open 24/7 through 7 p.m., Friday, Dec. 14.

Research assistance will be available until 1 a.m. Check out the new quiet space study area now located on the first floor.  

For more information, call 650-4636.

Andy Theising, PhD, professor in the Department of Political Science, will give a presentation about his new book, Main Street USA, and discuss how postcards were made and used a century ago.
