Undergraduate and graduate degrees are offered in the arts and sciences, business, education, engineering, and nursing. Professional degrees are available in dentistry and pharmacy. Nearly 13,500 students choose SIUE for the enlightening programs, engaging faculty, and convenient location just 25 miles from St. Louis. Dear SIUE Alumni, It is with great pride that we introduce this first edition of eConnection. It’s a new format, a new look, and a new name for our alumni publication. This seems fitting, as a common thread in SIUE’s history has been the power to reinvent itself. We are not the same university that we were five, ten, or fifteen years ago, and we won’t be the same university five, ten, or fifteen years from now. At SIUE, we embrace change, and an entrepreneurial spirit runs strong on campus, as it always has. As you read through this edition, you will notice that SIUE is alive with excitement. We are experiencing positive momentum in many different areas.
