So whether you know exactly what you want from a university, or you’re still looking for the right environment to unearth your potential, we invite you to experience an education where big things are always within reach. And where you will know no bounds.

As a university, we’ve generated patents and offered businesses the innovations they need to grow.

we were plAced Among tier 1 nAtionAl universities by u.s. news & world report 2014.

Hands on.but we’re also defining the nationally ranked research institution experience in a new way. we’ve made huge investments and expanded our research focus—without losing our connection to mentorship and teaching. because we think that nothing should come between people and discovery. And top-tier should also be hands-on.

we are salukis. that’s not just a name. it’s a belief that we’re all capable of big things, and we’re all in this together. it’s a shared set of high expectations—what we expect from ourselves as well as each other. it’s a network of support in and out of the classroom. it’s an answer to a challenge. it’s kicking down barriers while building a stronger world.

And you can feel the saluki spirit throughout campus. from our division i teams to our student clubs. it inspires art,

sparks debate, and reverberates in carbondale and beyond.

sAluki Athletics. We compete in 16 Division 1 sports, and our student athletes are among the best in the nation. siusalukis.com

We’re revolutionizing the student experience. Imagine never having to carry

textbooks, videoconferencing with professors and classmates,

having all the tools of the computer lab right there in your bag. Imagine a

campus with no boundaries. We did. And then we partnered with Microsoft, Dell, Intel, and Dub Labs

to make it happen.

It’s part of our mission to make sure that students have access to everthing they need to reach their true, fullest potential. Every first-year student* will be given a Dell Venue 11 Pro tablet, preloaded with Microsoft Office software and mobile apps that will open up countless opportunities to enhance your Saluki experience.

• get involved with student organizations• download your textbooks• save money on textbooks and a desktop PC• videoconference with classmates and professors• receive safety alerts

• register for classes • stream campus events• post to Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, and all of your social media channels• manage your time right down to knowing the moment a washing machine becomes available

A few of the things you will be able to do:

* *while the tablet pcs will only be given to incoming first-year students, the digital campus experience is available to everyone. Which means that as a transfer or upper-level student, you will still be able to use your personal device to connect anywhere on campus, download e-texts, stream events, register for housing, and participate in the entire Saluki experience.

matter how hard we try. it goes beyond the way the campus looks. it’s the feeling students get. the sense that siu is right for them; when they just click with our campus. it’s the intangible, indescribable connection that tells them that they’re home.
