Two SIU-Carbondale alumni, Roger Tedrick and his wife Sally, made a historic six-million-dollar donation to their alma mater last week. Mr. Tedrick is a member of the Board of Trustees and the SIU Foundation Board of Directors.
In honor of their donation, a planned new building on campus will be named the Tedrick Welcome Center.
I spoke last Friday with SIU System President Dan Mahony about what the new welcome center will include.
