Southern Illinois University Edwardsville Fact Book – 1999 Edition January, 1999 To Fact Book Recipients: This Fact Book is the fifth edition of an annual series. It is designed to answer your questions about Southern Illinois University Edwardsville. The publication provides both current and historical information about SIUE, its students, alumni, faculty and staff, programs, instruction, and resources. We hope that you find this a useful resource. This Fact Book is available on the Web (www.siue.edu/IRS/factbook.html) along with a Fact Book Annex which is intended as an extension of the SIUE Fact Book, providing data that is more detailed, is for different time periods or is not included at all in this volume. Two new tables are included in this edition – adding information on persistence of new transfer student cohorts and on alumni seeking additional education. (See pages 48-49 and 54.) The Office of Institutional Research and Studies prepared this Fact Book and thanks all who helped, suggesting changes, providing data, and preparing tables. We will appreciate your continuing feedback about any changes for future editions. Please contact Barbara L. Kessel (
