SIUE’s commitment to offer all of our students a financially accessible education remain a top priority. Over the past decade, State appropriations to the University have declined by over 20 percent. In these challenging financial times, private contributions from School of Engineering alumni and friends are essential for the School to continue to provide our students with a first-rate education.
Your contributions help up accomplish our mission of providing an excellent education to future engineers, computer scientists and construction managers. Contact the School’s Director of Development, Kate Betz at 618.650.5020 or kbetz@siue.edu for more information.
