We are still on Cloud ☁️ 9 following the fifth annual ONE DAY, ONE SIUE: Soaring to New Heights ❤️🖤
Together, SIUE raised more than $3.2 million in support of SIUE students and programs—and we are incredibly grateful for the generosity and commitment of our Cougar community.
This day is truly about people coming together in support of student success. We extend our sincere appreciation to University Advancement, VIP Tent participants, campus partners, volunteers, vendors, sponsors, and especially our generous donors who made this milestone possible.
