Chancellor Austin A. Lane invites you to join fellow Southern Illinois University alumni and university representatives for a special evening during the Saluki Takeover Tour in Indianapolis.
This year’s Chancellor’s Reception will be held at Guggman Haus Brewing Co., a small microbrewery known for its bold and experimental beer styles. Located in the former Boyle Racing Headquarters, just minutes from the Indianapolis Speedway, Guggman Haus offers a welcoming space to gather and celebrate all things SIU.
Guests will enjoy two drink tickets and complimentary German pretzels and appetizers while reconnecting with the Saluki community in a unique and historic setting.
Guggman Haus is located in the Riverside neighborhood, one block north of 16th Street at the intersection of 17th and Gent Avenue, northwest of downtown Indianapolis. Free parking is available in a large lot across the street, near the grain silos.
We look forward to seeing you there as we bring the Saluki spirit to Indianapolis.
