Main Content
Our Renewing Illinois Summit brings together Illinois college students to discuss and debate creative solutions to revitalize the Prairie State.
The 2024 summit will be held on our Carbondale campus on October 24 and 25, 2024.
The summit's theme will be "Higher Education In Illinois: Preparing For a Tsunami of Change."
Provocative speakers, background briefings, and stimulating interactive exercises will help us explore the challenges facing higher education in Illinois. Students who attend the Summit will be able to interact with the speakers and other students from Illinois colleges and universities.
Together, we will work to envision and begin to build a new golden age of higher education in the Prairie State.
Former Governor Jim Edgar will deliver the opening remarks on Thursday, October 24. The following morning, Institute Director John Shaw will host a one-on-one discussion with SIU System President Dan Mahony about the challenges facing higher education in Illinois.
If you have any questions, please contact the Institute at paulsimoninstitute@siu.edu.
Please register your students by October 17, 2024.
