SIU Carbondale

Meet the newest members of the SIU Alumni family 🐾 Congratulations, Salukis 🎓

Able Flight at SIU kicked off its 20th anniversary with an incredible day of support. On May 6, 70 donors helped raise $95K toward a $2M goal supporting the future of accessible aviation through the Charles H. Stites Able Flight at SIU Endowment Fund. blog.siuf.org/?p=5143

Presenting the Class of 2026. 🎓 A remarkable group of Salukis ready to lead, serve, and make a difference. 🐾 @SIUC wishes you continued success in all of your future endeavors. As always… Go Dawgs!

Congratulations, Salukis! You made it. 🎓 Every late night, every hard class, every “I don’t know if I can do this” moment led you here. We’re so proud of our graduates and everything it took to reach this day. Once a Saluki, always a Saluki. 🐾❤️

Tibretta Reiman and her son, James, are crossing the commencement stage together as SIU graduates and proud Salukis, proving there’s more than one way to get here. Congratulations! What a beautiful way to close one chapter and start the next. 🎓🐾 news.siu.edu/2026/05/050726…

All the long nights led here. Congrats to the SIU Simmons Law Class of 2026! Today you walk, tomorrow you lead. #OnceASalukiAlwaysASaluki news.siu.edu/2026/05/050426…

What a crowd for our first game of the tournament 🤩 See you again at 3 PM as we host No. 5 Illinois State, Saluki Nation! 🫡 #Salukis | #MaroonMade

Some people raise the standard for everyone around them. Congrats to James Garvey, recipient of SIU’s Scholar Excellence Award, recognized for his work, leadership and impact that last far beyond the classroom. blog.news.siu.edu/saluki-pride-j…

This is more than an exhibition. It’s years of growth, experimentation, risk-taking, and vision on display. The Spring 2026 SIU Senior Art Exhibition is now on display — featuring work that’s bold, personal, and impossible to ignore. news.siu.edu/2026/05/050726…

She added an aerospace specialization… just because she could. Halley Frailey didn’t come to SIU with everything figured out. She figured it out by getting involved, taking on challenges, and pushing herself. This is what Salukis do. news.siu.edu/2026/05/050726…

More than 200 Salukis gathered in Springfield for the Saluki Takeover Tour. From Ag Legislative Day to Saluki Women Connect and Inspire, the week highlighted connection, impact and community. Read more: blog.siuf.org/?p=5072 @SIUC @SIUAlumni @SIUChancellor

Some people don’t chase the spotlight. They just make everything better. Mickey Soltys has been doing exactly that, and now they're being recognized for it. That’s Saluki pride. Through and through. 🐾 blog.news.siu.edu/saluki-pride-m…

Two paths. One shared drive to create something real. These SIU twins aren’t just studying art, they’re building futures with it. Side by side, pushing each other, figuring it out as they go. That’s what growth looks like. news.siu.edu/2026/05/050426…
