CARBONDALE, Ill. -- SIU will host a slew of activities beginning Saturday to recognize National Hunger and Homelessness Week.

The national recognition happens to fall during Leadership and Service Week, a fact which further propelled SIU toward acknowledging the week.

“This particular week seems to bring together so many components of the university’s Imagine 2030 strategic plan pillars, including sustainability; student success and engagement; and diversity, equity and inclusion," said Aimee Lemrise, SIU's Sustainability Office Director. "We wanted to plan some events to bring attention to sustainability and the other pillars and highlight our commitments to them." 

According to Lemrise, the school also plans on using the week to collect non-perishable food for the Saluki Food Pantry. Donation boxes will be located around the campus and will also accept winter clothes and hygiene products.

The full schedule for the week can be found below: 

  • Saturday, Nov. 11
    • Saluki Rainbow Network Drag Show, 7 p.m.
  • Monday, Nov. 13
    • Showcasing Our Salukis, 10 a.m.-3 p.m., 
    • Service project at 5 p.m.
  • Tuesday, Nov. 14
    • Alumni Speaks: featuring Mildred Williams at noon
    • Sustaining Our Service: Women in Leadership
  • Wednesday, Nov. 15
    • Feeding the Community, featuring LaRayia Gatson founder and executive director of Lunch on Me
  • Thursday, Nov. 16
    • Breakfast for SIU student leaders
    • Serving through Leadership Luncheon, noon-1 p.m.

Most of the offerings will be open to the public, though a select few will be limited to those on SIU's campus.

All activities will take place on campus and feature sponsorships from the Sustainability Office, the Black Resource Center, the Office of Student Engagement and the Center for Service-Learning and Volunteerism.
