Noon-1 p.m.

This week we'll be talking about how to define STEM, a topic more difficult than just spelling out an acronym. What topics are covered in the umbrella of STEM? Is it a separate topic from other subjects or something to be integrated into every aspect of education?

Feel free to join us with your opinions and experiences. If you'd like some background reading, contact Colin Wilson at colwils@siue.edu for some optional articles.

Wishing you the very best for the holidays and the coming year!

The SIUE East St. Louis Charter High School (CHS) is kicking off its annual Angel Tree giving program. This is your opportunity to support part of our larger University community, and make this holiday season a memorable one for the students at CHS.

As winter approaches, the staff of CHS would like to ensure that all of our students experience the joy of the holiday season. To that end, we would like to invite you to participate in our Angel Tree giving program.

This year, it is our goal to give every CHS student a new sweatshirt and to give additional winter gear to the neediest students.

Giving is easy! Now through Friday, Dec. 8, we will be accepting donations to the Angel Tree giving program.

DONATE NOW to give online, using a credit card.

We also accept cash or checks. Checks should be made payable to SIUE Foundation and sent to:
Anne Moore
Campus Box 1049

Please drop off any cash donations with Moore in Alumni Hall, Room 1134.

All donations are 100 percent tax deductible, and you will receive a receipt for tax purposes.

For more information, contact Moore at 650-3354 or anmoore@siue.edu.
