Cheers to Homecoming 2017!
The first weekend of October, alumni, current students, faculty, staff and visitors turned out in full force to celebrate SIUE’s Annual Homecoming weekend.
We began the weekend celebration with the annual Alumni Hall of Fame Dinner and Awards Ceremony where we honored nine distinguished alumni.

An alumni tailgate crowd gathered at Korte Stadium Saturday afternoon in anticipation of the SIUE men’s soccer game against Bowling Green. Alumni enjoyed live music from alumni band Trigger 5, devoured tasty food from local restaurants, and played a variety of games on the lawn. Special seating was reserved for several reunion groups.
We were thrilled to see so many Cougars come back to campus for a chance to make new connections and reunite with classmates, professors and friends. We can’t wait to see you again next year!
