About this event

  • Event lasts 2 hours

Members of the SIU Alumni Association's Young Alumni Group will gather for a networking dinner at one of Carbondale's up-and-coming pizza places, offering a unique variety of artisanal brick oven pizzas. Recent grads and young alumni throughout the Southern Illinois area are invited to join and find out more about how you can help support SIU and Saluki pride in the community!

Note: Dinner will be purchased on your own.

After dinner, you'll also have the option to join the group for the first 2025 Sunset Concert in front of Shryock Auditorium on campus. The featured performer is Denise La Grassa, whose music infuses blues, roots, soul, and rock. Those attending the concert are welcome to bring lawn chairs and blankets, as well as refreshments. Food and drink vendors will be on site as well.

We hope you can join us to kick off the summer and learn how young alums continue to support their alma mater.
