2024 Saluki Takeover Tour Memphis
This October, the city of Memphis will officially become Saluki country. SIU alumni and friends of the university are encouraged to join the fun during some of these exciting events. Hosting multiple events from Tuesday, Oct. 22, through Thursday, Oct. 24, Saluki pride will be on full display. Register at siuf.org/memphis.
The architectural design of the Tedrick Welcome Center showcases large white pillars, arched windows, and red brick accents.

With a $6 million donation, Roger and Sally Tedrick are leaving yet another indelible mark on the Southern Illinois University Carbondale campus. In honor of their donation, a planned new building on campus will be named the Tedrick Welcome Center. The proposed building was presented to the SIU Board of Trustees’ architecture and design committee in April, and approval of its construction will be on the board’s Feb. 8 agenda. Read more on the blog. Watch the animated walkthrough video. (This concept art shows what the Tedrick Welcome Center could look like once constructed. Provided by Hafer Architects.)

If you want to go fast,
go alone;
if you want to go far,
go together.
