EDWARDSVILLE – Southern Illinois University Edwardsville School of Business alumna Rachel Clothier chose SIUE for her undergraduate and graduate studies. What sold Clothier on SIUE was not only the value of the degrees she earned, but also the value the University provided. Today she finds herself immersed in the city of Edwardsville’s business scene, continuing to call the community her home. “Ever since I graduated, I never really wanted to be anywhere except Edwardsville and this community,” said Clothier. “I have always felt connected to SIUE. Edwardsville is a smaller community, but SIUE has done a lot for our community. It is a wonderful resource to have the University in our backyard.” Clothier earned a bachelor's in business administration in 2006 and then a Master of Business Administration in 2008. She owns Goff & Dittman Florists and Gift Shop in Edwardsville, and although she is relatively new to the florist business, she

Developers are seeking to build a 356-acre, 556-home subdivision known as "Tall Tree" on the largely rural, wooded land along the Highway DD corridor west of O'Fallon.

Inspiration comes from strange places for Paige Brubeck and Evan Sult of Sleepy Kitty. Take, for example, "Alceste in Silverlake," which might be Brubeck's favorite track from the indie rock duo's forthcoming album Blessing/Curse, due out June 23.
