You are cordially invited to the Southern Illinois University Edwardsville campus to celebrate your 50-year reunion with fellow SIUE alumni who graduated 50 or more years ago.

This milestone is an incredible opportunity for you, our Golden Graduate, to celebrate your time on campus and your lasting commitment to SIUE. We look forward to welcoming you back to campus to celebrate your 50-year reunion, relive days gone by, and make new SIUE memories.
