A die-hard Saluki women's basketball fan has made a significant planned gift to the program.
Craig Englert recently committed to a $3 million planned gift to support the team.
His passion for Saluki Athletics was sparked by his father, DuWayne Englert, who served as a zoology professor at SIU from 1963 to 1999.
This historic gift follows a recent $4.5 million estate commitment supporting scholarships for female student-athletes.
Englert's gift is part of the Salukis Unleashed initiative, which aims to generate $100 million in revenue for Saluki Athletics. The campaign is meant to expand scholarship opportunities and enhance facilities, creating a premier experience for student-athletes, coaches, and fans.
