SIUE renewed its love affair with the cougar mascot on Wednesday, October 3rd at the unveiling of the new cougar sculpture outside of the main entrance of the Morris University Center. The School Spirit and Pride Committee of SIUE's Student Government began a fund-raising campaign in 2005 to erect a bronze life-size monument to the live cougars that lived on campus between 1968 and 1987. The unveiling ceremony was attended by several alums including former Student Body Presidents and members of the Cougar Guard who cared for the cougars. The SIUE Alumni Association would like to thank everyone who purchased commemorative bricks to help raise money for the new statue. Click on the photos for a larger image.
