Saluki Cares

As a member of our SIU community, we care about you!

Your overall well-being, experience, and success as a student here at Southern Illinois University Carbondale is important to us, and we want to help you get the care, referrals, and answers you seek.

Purpose

The purpose of Saluki Cares is to develop, facilitate and coordinate a university-wide program of care and support for students in distress.  By working closely with faculty, staff, students and their families, SIU Carbondale continues to display a culture of care by demonstrating to our students and their families that they are an important part of the community.

Saluki Cares is an early alert initiative composed of professionals from different areas of campus life who work with students on a regular basis: Academic units, Student Life & Intercultural Relations, New Student Programs, International Programs & Services, University Housing, University College, Wellness Center, and others.

All concerns remain confidential.  

Referral Information

Anyone can refer to Saluki Cares! Referrals are made from faculty, staff, parents, other students or by the student him/herself.
