Find a TAG and Post a Selfie for a Chance to Win $100
Have you seen red tags around campus?
Throughout the month of February, the Students Today, Alumni Tomorrow, (STAT) student organization has joined hundreds of universities worldwide to participate in Student Engagement and Philanthropy Month, organized by CASE.
This initiative is designed to increase student understanding of philanthropy and how giving impacts SIUE. It is also meant to increase student engagement now and as future alumni.
The red tags placed around campus represent the tangible impact our donors have on SIUE. TAG stands for Thank-A-Giver.
If you see tags, take a selfie with them and post them on the STAT facebook page with #SIUETAG.
Each tag found and selfie posted, equals an entry into a drawing to win a $100 Visa gift card.
Contact Cathy Taylor at cattayl@siue.edu for more information.

A FREE dental screening, including select x-rays, will be offered to patients willing to participate and who are 16 years and older.
If accepted as a Board Examination patient during your screening visit, you must be willing to come to the dental school and receive treatment on a select board examination day—either April 3 or 4. There will be NO CHARGE for the treatment you will receive during the Board Exam.
No appointment is necessary for the FREE screenings offered. Please bring a photo ID. Free parking is available in the patient parking area (off of Annex Street).
