Athletics

Saluki Athletics has a proud history of achievement on the field and in the classroom. Our student-athletes learn and graduate, gain leadership skills and win championships. This culture of success enriches our campus and community. We are an integral part of the university’s traditions and future. To discuss these and other opportunities to support student-athletes, contact Todd Reeser, assistant vice chancellor of athletics fundraising, at 404/831-5886.

8 NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIPS • 60 OLYMPIANS • 101 ACADEMIC ALL-AMERICANS

As we navigate the path forward, we must adapt to stay strong. Now, more than ever, we must ensure that our student-athletes have access to great facilities, outstanding coaches and dependable scholarships that allow them to focus on both academics and competition – now and in the future.

Saluki Athletics is embarking on an ambitious campaign that will build upon our historic strengths and position us for continued success. At the heart of the campaign is a commitment to student-athlete achievement, championship teams, community engagement, diversity and inclusion, and shared Saluki pride.

SCHOLARSHIPS

• Saluki Athletics is committed to bringing the best student-athletes to SIU. Through scholarships, we build a community of diverse, successful Salukis who act as ambassadors for the university. Our student-athletes are role models in the community and the classroom.

OPERATIONS

• From recruiting to training to competition and beyond, there are countless moving pieces underpinning the smooth and effective operation of Saluki Athletics. Every link in the complex operational chain, including support staff and coaching staff for our student-athletes, is important to overall success. 

FACILITIES

• Saluki Athletics is blessed with many high-level, state-of-the-art facilities, but the need to upgrade is always on the horizon. Maintaining our existing facilities and preparing for the future requires regular investment.
