WE HAVE A NEW PAGE!!!

As some of you know, we have merged with the former Kimmel Student Involvement Center. We are now the SIUE Kimmel Belonging and Engagement Hub!!! Please follow us on that page for all our events and news!

The SIUE Kimmel Belonging and Engagement Hub is hiring!!!

In addition to hiring a director, we are hiring TWO Associate Director(s) for the office!

As you know from our previous post, the Kimmel Belonging and Engagement Hub is the result of a recent merger between the Kimmel Student Involvement Center and the Inclusive Excellence, Education, and Development Hub, an effort to better position the university to deliver services and offer programming to advance student success and inclusive excellence, nurture belonging and well-being for all students; and provide opportunities that support students’ development into culturally competent, socially responsible leaders on campus, at work and in their communities. The role of the Associate Director(s) will be to lead two different sets of specific initiatives associated with two of the three foundational pillars of our restructured office.

Check out this link for more details and please do reach out with any questions or to clarify any details! Apply yourself if you are interested or share widely! We would love to have someone new and exciting join the team!
