We're Proud of our Alumni!

Their current positions are even more varied than our programs. This is because each of us goes down a unique path. Each of us experiences different events and opportunities that shape us in unique ways. So although we have neither a law school nor a medical school within the College of Liberal Arts, nevertheless, we count lawyers and doctors among our graduates in Liberal Arts. Indeed, the variety of paths and professions chosen by our alumni speaks directly to the value of the liberal education in which we believe so deeply.

Alumni Recognition Day 2000

On March 31, 2000, the College of Liberal Arts was honored by the return to campus of eighteen of our alumni. They generously returned to campus to meet with students in the department from which they graduated, and participated in various public panel discussions. The format of the panel discussions began with each alumnus briefly recounting their first days as a Saluki and how their experiences at SIUC and in Carbondale influenced the career path they had taken. After these introductory remarks, our alumni took questions from current Salukis in the audience.
