Testimonials
"As an SIU alumnus and partner of the SIU Alumni Association, I couldn’t be more thrilled about the launch of the new Saluki Market online store! Our collaboration selling Rendleman Orchards’ fruit gift boxes was an incredible success, connecting alumni and friends with a taste of saluki country while supporting our alma mater. The Saluki Market is a fantastic opportunity to celebrate the SIU community and showcase the best our region has to offer. I’m proud to be part of this exciting initiative and can’t wait to see it thrive!"
