Ribbon-Cutting Celebration
Friday, May 1, 2026 | 4–7 p.m.
Tedrick Welcome Center
1264 Lincoln Drive, Carbondale, Illinois
Join Southern Illinois University and the SIU Foundation for a special ribbon-cutting celebration marking the grand opening of the Tedrick Welcome Center.
This event recognizes the leadership and vision of the SIU Foundation Board of Directors and honors the generosity of Roger and Sally Tedrick, SIU Foundation emeritus board members and the many donors whose support made the Tedrick Welcome Center possible.
The Tedrick Welcome Center will serve as the home of the SIU Foundation and a central hub for campus engagement, welcoming prospective students, alumni, donors and community members to SIU.
Guests will enjoy heavy hors d’oeuvres and an open bar while celebrating this milestone for the university. The evening will include brief remarks and a ceremonial ribbon cutting.
We invite alumni, donors, friends and community members to join us as we open a new front porch to Southern Illinois University.
