Stop inside Lovejoy Library to view materials from the Andrew Theising Collection, which are featured in the center light well on the first floor of Lovejoy Library. Theising, PhD, is chair and associate professor in SIUE's Department of Political Science.

One case focuses on East St. Louis’ history as an industrial suburb and the second case on the 1917 East St. Louis Riots, including Elliott Morton Rudwick’s book: Race riot at East St. Louis, July 2, 1917. The displays will remain available during July and August.

Check out the National Outdoors Month display with focus on the sustainability efforts at SIUE, the Gardens at SIUE and gardening. The display will only be here for through Friday, July 21.

SIUE currently offers more than 300 recognized student organizations. We are always in need of individuals who are willing to serve as an advisor to these student groups.

If you are a full time SIUE faculty or staff member and would potentially be willing to serve as an advisor to a student group, please email me at mking@siue.edu, and I will put you on the list of potential advisors.

When a group needs an advisor, I will contact everyone on the list to see who is interested. If you expressed interest in being an advisor last year, please contact me again.

Serving as an organization advisor can be rewarding, and we appreciate the time and effort faculty and staff put in to ensure SIUE organizations succeed.

Please note that service as an advisor counts as University service for the faculty tenure process, and our office will provide letters in support of this.

The International Hospitality Program at SIUE welcomes our international students to the area.
