T
he dictionary definition of a community is, honestly, rather boring: “a social group of any size whose members reside in a specific locality, share government, and often have a common cultural and historical heritage; a locality inhabited by such a group.�
Technically, the meaning is right, but it falls short of accurately describing Carbondale, Illinois, and this city is anything but boring. Our community is more than a place where we share common leadership, streets and weather. Carbondale is an exciting, vibrant city where we celebrate diversity and progress; treasure the past and create the future. It is a place where we enjoy metropolitan amenities and conveniences while cherishing the classic friendliness and charm of Southern Illinois. Simply, this is where we live, work, learn, express ourselves, play and relax. This is Carbondale.

erhaps no institution plays as significant a role in Carbondale as Southern Illinois University. We’re proud of SIU and why not? Southern Illinois University ranks in the top five percent research universities in the nation, with projects and discoveries that impact not only the region, but the entire world. With nearly 20,000 undergraduate students and more than 200,000 alumni worldwide, the University (and the city) makes a difference every day. Plus, there are the Salukis, who compete at the highest level of the collegiate athletics. Named after an ancient breed of Egyptian hunting dog (tradition and local lore often refers to
16
carbondalechamber.com
our area as “Egypt”) known for its speed and agility, the Salukis can often be found battling for conference, regional and even national championships. SIU students excel in other places, too. The debate and aviation squads are perennial national champions. Our students earn scholarships, accolades and honors. In fact, this year, three SIU students are among just 60 nationwide named to the annual USA Today All-USA College Academic Team. See why we are so proud of SIU? This is the home of the SIU Salukis. This is Carbondale.
