As we mark this momentous occasion, we want to make it easy for all SIU faculty and staff to get involved in the yearlong 150th anniversary celebration. We’re offering a wide variety of resources to help. In addition, we welcome volunteers to help promote the university’s birthday at our monthly “Carbondale Community Fourth Friday Fairs” and other special events. Check out the options.
