Southern Illinois University Edwardsville

Lincoln Drive, Carbondale, IL

Southern Illinois University Edwardsville, located in Edwardsville, Illinois, is commonly referred to as SUIE or The “e.” The school was established after the end of World War II in response to a lack of educational facilities in general for post war veterans, and in particular for residents of the Metro-East are. This prompted a study of the area that took a detailed look into the need for post secondary education and accessibility on the counties of Madison and St. Clair. Southern Illinois University was chosen to expand into the area do to its proximity, and with the purchase of several locations, began 0plans to open a branch campus. The need for higher education was underestimating, and initial enrollment numbers were double the expected, and grew rapidly over the first few years of the new campus' operation. The school's rapid growth resulted in the purchase and development of a permanent home and in 1971 resulted in the independence of the campus into a partner school in the Southern Illinois University System rather than a branch campus.
