SIU Student Center

Since 1969, it's been a hub for Saluki energy — a place to connect, recharge, and be part of something bigger. Whether you’re grabbing lunch with friends, hitting the bowling lanes, meeting up for a study session, or just finding a quiet corner to chill, the Student Center is your go-to space.
