Why Choose the College of Education and Human Services?

Because of Faculty and Staff--"My time at SIU has been extraordinary.  The professors truly care about the achievements of their students, recognizing that we are not merely faces in the crowd, but rather academic peers. That kind of respect made me want to succeed and become an everlasting part of the SIU community."

Because of Faculty and Staff--"This position [as Center Coordinator] is, without question, the best job I have ever had in so many ways.  It has been fulfilling and rewarding beyond my wildest hopes; I feel like I am doing something that is worthwhile and significant to the lives of others. . . . It is easy to do the work that is required because I never feel I can do enough for students like ours and for a committed staff like ours.  I am always receiving as much or more than I am giving.  For weeks after graduation, I keep remembering those happy faces, and I reminisce again about their amazing accomplishments. Then, when we hear they are hired in teaching positions, it all comes full circle.  Just think how, together, we have improved the teacher candidate pool in Lake County!  Those SIUC teachers are out there making a difference in classrooms and in the lives of students."
