Welcome to the Vice President for Academic Affairs for the SIU System
This office’s primary responsibility is to support the university’s Board of Trustees, the system President and the two main campuses on all issues relating to academic life.
The goal is to ensure that each campus provides every student with a valuable and marketable degree. Moreover, SIU students can make the most of a college experience that fully enhances their intellectual, physical and cultural life, including participation in countless research and creative opportunities in collaboration with talented faculty in their laboratories and studios.
In addition to supporting its students, SIU has been recognized for its commitment to community engagement. The services provided by faculty, staff and students are important resources to the region and enrich students with experiential learning, much like internships, externships, and clinicals in many different fields.
