Partnership in Engineering
The SIUE School of Engineering’s vision is to be in partnership with faculty, students, staff, alumni and other industry professionals, working together to provide the highest quality education and maintain innovative resources that support the technical growth and economic development of this region.
The Dean’s Society was developed to recognize donors who wish to make an investment in this vision. As a donor society within the School of Engineering, the goal of the Dean’s Society is to foster giving that makes a difference in the education of our students.
What do gifts benefit?
