Celebrating SIU Women's Athletics Announces Dates for Festivities - September 23, 2008

Athletic Department to Honor Former Female Athletes with Celebration - August 21, 2008

We are planning a celebration to honor former female student-athletes who competed for SIU against teams from other schools prior to 1980 and did not receive a traditional letter award at the time. Our plan is for a banquet on a basketball weekend next spring. Each letterwinner in attendance will be honored for her achievement. We also want to honor coaches from that time period. We gathered over 1000 names of former female student-athletes and coaches by scouring University files and records and have around 400 current addresses. What follows is a questionnaire designed to capture information on you and your service as a coach in Women's Athletics. Please return it at your earliest convenience. In addition, we're trying to honor as many of our female student-athletes and coaches as we can, so let us know if you have names and addresses of alums or former coaches you've stayed in touch with so that no one gets left out. We're excited to welcome everyone back to campus! Please join us!
