Future Educators Explore EarthCaches at SIUE

This semester, a cohort of elementary, early childhood, and special education majors are exploring the physical elements of SIUE’s geography through their foundations of science course. The students are taking their coursework in earth science outside, and learning about the natural and human processes that have shaped SIUE’s landscape by visiting EarthCache sites.

SIUE and the surrounding communities came together to collect books for charity and simultaneously arrange the “longest line of books,” breaking the Guinness World Record. The impressive attempt occurred on September 8, 2017, International Literacy Day. This year, SIUE is celebrating the collaborative world record achievement, having received official confirmation from Guinness World Records nearly a year later in late August 2018. Read more about breaking the Guinness World Record.

Students Travel to Uganda

After a five-week travel study to Uganda, three students from speech-language pathology and audiology and eight students from public health are viewing the world differently. The international service experience left an indelible mark on all involved as the students worked in Ugandan neighborhoods.

Public health students helped develop programs to address issues of malaria and HIV, and advanced life skills like enhanced communication, gratitude and patience. Read more about the public health students' experiences.

Speech-language pathology and audiology students observed physical and occupational therapy sessions and helped children with disabilities with class lessons. Read about what they learned.

Angel Tree Giving Campaign

SIUE East St. Louis Charter High School (CHS) is kicking off its annual Angel Tree giving campaign. This is an opportunity to support our larger University community and to make this holiday season a memorable one for the students at CHS. As winter approaches, the staff of CHS would like to ensure that all of our students experience the joy of the holiday season. To that end, we would like to invite you to participate in our Angel Tree giving program which runs through December 14. This year, it is our goal to give every student at CHS a new sweatshirt and to give additional winter gear to the neediest students. For more information please contact Anne Moore at anmoore@siue.edu or 618-650-3354.
