Look at the this throwback photo shared by Morris Library from the Homecoming Parade in 1998! The International Student Council was represented in the parade.
Next week in the SIU International Festival!

Anyone interested in participating in the Parade of Flags should contact Elaine Conrad at [email protected] The first person from each country to email Elaine will have the honor of carrying the flag from their country. Be sure to mention in your email 1) your name and 2) your home country. Plan to either wear traditional clothing or the colors from your home country (for example, in the U.S. we often think of red, white, and blue as our colors). The Parade of Flags will be held the morning of Monday, April 5. We will meet outside of the Center for International Education (CIE) at 9:30 a.m. Social distancing will be observed and masks are required.

Let’s make this the most exciting flag parade ever as we march from the Center for International Education to Faner Plaza for the outdoor Proclamation to begin a week full of both virtual and in-person events!

On behalf of the entire International Student community, we want to express our deepest condolences to the families of students involved in this accident.

Our hearts are with you all.

“We are heartbroken to learn of a tragic car accident that has taken the lives of two members of the Saluki family and injured three others. We send our condolences to the families of Vamshi Krishna Pechetty, a graduate student in computer science, and Pavan Swarna, a graduate student in computer science, and we hope Kalyan Dorna, a graduate student in civil engineering, Karthik Kakumanu, a graduate student in computer science, and Yaswanth Uppalapati, a graduate student in computer science, will heal. We are working to support the families during this incredibly difficult time. Our Counseling and Psychological Services (CAPS) team is available to help others who are impacted by this tragedy. Our thoughts and hearts are with these students and their loved ones.” – Austin A. Lane, SIU Carbondale chancellor
