Class Registration Open for 2019 Kindermusik Summer Camp

Let’s take a trip to the Wild Animal Park! We’ll slither like snakes, pounce like leopards, encounter tiny tree frogs and enormous elephants, and visit amazing habitats that are high and low, hot and cold, dry and rainy. Then, it’s time for the animals’ favorite activity, which they all do together. It’s the jungle hokey-pokey!

5:45 p.m.
Monday-Thursday, July 15-18

Security Enhanced at Information Technology Services

As part of the effort to increase security in Information Technology Services, two new video surveillance cameras are scheduled to be installed on the Edwardsville campus.   

One camera will be installed outside room 0016 in Lovejoy Library to protect computer equipment and peripherals stored in the area. A second camera will be installed on the 87 Supporting Services Dr. building, also to protect computer equipment.

The new cameras will be used by SIUE Police to protect employees and guests, and reduce the risk of criminal activity. The cameras are meant to enhance the overall campus safety and security. 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.
