Today we welcomed 30 students from East St. Louis School District 189 to spend the day with us on campus and imagine themselves at SIU. Before their visit here, Chancellor Austin A. Lane and admissions staff, visited the students at their school yesterday.

They got to tour our REC Center and residence halls, learn about resources on campus, and even take a selfie with Chancellor Lane's hologram at our selfie station!
