Dear colleagues,

We need YOU to make The SIUE Experience a success for the Class of 2021! 

Please consider volunteering to help welcome our new students. The first impressions they experience during this orientation program can have a lasting impact on their connection to SIUE.

We are looking for faculty and staff to accompany new students and upper-class student leaders on our Class of 2021 service project. Held from 9 a.m.-1 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 19, this activity puts our SIUE value of citizenship into action. 

We are providing service to seven community agencies in the Metro East: Arlington Wetlands, Beverly Farm, Garden of Harmony (Aya Grows), Granite City Community Garden, La Vista CSA Farm, Watershed Nature Center and Willoughby Farm. Bus transportation from Lot B is provided or you are welcome to meet us at one of the service sites. 

To volunteer for the service project, please click here to sign up.

Thank you in advance for your support!
