EDWARDSVILLE - Southern Illinois University Edwardsville welcomed nearly 500 prospective students and guests to campus on Saturday, Oct. 26 for Preview SIUE. A second Preview SIUE event is scheduled for Monday, Nov. 11.
The day-long program, coordinated by the Office of Undergraduate Admissions, gave high school students, transfer students and their guests the opportunity to experience life as a student at SIUE. Attendees had the chance to explore the full spectrum of academic programming, student-life opportunities and support services available to SIUE students.
“There was a lot of excitement and enthusiasm from everyone in attendance,” said Alicia Taylor, assistant director of admissions for campus visits in the Office of Admissions. “The students were genuinely happy to be here on campus, and our staff and faculty were eager to show them how SIUE can help them achieve their academic goals.”
