SIU Salukis
Saluki Athletics and the SIU Foundation Friday launched a four-year, 25 million dollar fundraising campaign to raise money to support the future of the department at Southern Illinois University Carbondale.
The goal is to raise private funds to support the mission of the SIU Athletic Department through June 30, 2024.
In a video released on social media to promote the campaign, Director of Athletics Liz Jarnigan said the COVID-19 pandemic has hit her department hard. The character of our student-athletes, coaches and staff is what makes me most proud. And even though were in the midst of great financial challenges brought on by COVID-19, it s because of their dedication that I know great things lie ahead. To get there, we need a boost from our fellow Salukis. In this year alone, we calculate more than two million in lost revenues due to the pandemic.
Dawn Null, assistant professor of Human Nutrition and Dietetics at Southern Illinois University, said having a plant-based diet could help reduce the obesity problem in America.
While the pandemic has dealt a crippling blow to the live performance industry, many artists have taken advantage of the forced downtime to focus on writing and recording new music. Even if it means sharing and merging audio files online or cautiously returning to a studio with fewer bodies around.
That’s how it was for Jason Ringenberg, whose new album
Rhinestoned drops on March 5. It was a process that mostly involved just himself and producer/engineer/multi-instrumentalist George Bradfute. Bradfute’s recording studio is in the basement of the former home of late “gentleman country crooner” Jim Reeves (“He’ll Have to Go,” “Four Walls”). Steve Ebe (drums), Fats Kaplin (steel guitar/fiddle), and Ringenberg’s own daughter Addie and Camille (vocals, piano) also pitched in.
