Department of Athletics Mission Statement Southern Illinois University Carbondale is a contemporary, comprehensive student-responsive university committed to providing quality teaching, research and service. In keeping with the University’s mission, the primary purpose of intercollegiate athletics is to sponsor a broad-based, fiscally and ethically responsible athletics program designed to promote each student-athlete’s academic, athletic and personal well-being and development. It is our goal to create a culture of excellence for our student-athletes, staff and fans that values integrity, diversity, equity, sportsmanship and community service.

The overflow of crowds settle on the hill behind the first base dugout to form SIU’s unique “Hill Gang.”
