SIU Alumni Gathering @ The Bryant

Join fellow Salukis for a spirited evening at The Bryant Food & Drink as we kick off a big weekend of Saluki pride in West Lafayette! The night before SIU takes on Purdue on the football field, come reconnect with alumni, make new memories, and get ready to cheer on the Dawgs.

The SIU Alumni Association will provide complimentary appetizers, and a cash bar will be available. Whether you're local, traveling in for the game, or just looking for a good time with fellow alumni, this is the place to be.

Let’s paint West Lafayette maroon! Go Dawgs!
