SIU America At 250

In 2026, the United States will mark the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence. Communities across the country are recognizing this milestone through activities that reflect on the nation’s history, celebrate shared traditions, and encourage conversations about the future.

At Southern Illinois University Carbondale, the America at 250 webpage serves as a central place to share campus and community events connected to this commemoration. Throughout the coming months, SIU colleges, schools and departments, student organizations, and community partners may host programs, discussions, performances, exhibits, and other activities related to this historic anniversary.
