WE’RE FOCUSED ON TAKING THE THEORETICAL AND TURNING IT INTO WHAT WORKS. Our students master theory. But they understand that theory will only take them so far. To go the distance, they take on the hard work of developing as professionals with a skill set they never stop adapting – skills that are in short supply and great demand. Our students begin to grow into their roles as expert communicators, negotiators and advocates as participants in public-interest externships, our award-winning professionalism program, and our first-year program that emphasizes professional development from day one. It’s a style of leadership they’ll depend on for the rest of their professional lives. And that’s why, to go the distance, they come to SIU.
