Accomplishments - November, 2025
Julia Rendleman, assistant professor, Charlotte Thompson Suhler School of Journalism and Advertising, will present a public discussion “American Water” at the University of Missouri’s School of Journalism on Nov. 12. A Pulitzer Center grantee, Rendleman will discuss five of her water-related reporting projects, along with visiting a science writing class and meeting with photojournalism students.
The SIU School of Medicine and Southern Illinois Healthcare collaborated on Oct. 28 to sponsor a suture workshop for 82 second-year physician assistant, first-year medical and Lincoln Scholar students. Dr. Kelli Webb, a local plastic surgeon and SIU School of Medicine graduate, arranged for 25 local physicians and physician assistants to instruct the students on laceration and incision repair. SIH hosted the event and provided each student with a practice suture kit, complete with instruments.
A $1,000 grant from the Illinois State Historical Records Advisory Board to the SIU Board of Trustees will allow the digitization of selected films in Morris Library’s Special Collections Research Center and make them available on YouTube. The grants support projects that make historically significant records – including film collections – more accessible to the public through online platforms.
