Chavez Ellis, a senior from Effingham studying information systems and applied technology, skates passed Morris Library on Wednesday, Aug. 24, 2016, while handing out flyers for the Saluki Rainbow Network’s Sept. 7 cookout in Carbondale. Ellis, president of Saluki Rainbow Network, traversed SIU’s campus with Stephanie Barcelona, a junior from Tinley Park studying Equine Science, and drag performers Julie and Alex Socorro of Murphysboro. “Our main goal is to bring awareness of Saluki Rainbow Network to the community,” Ellis said. “We want incoming LGBTQ students to know they’re not alone.” Saluki Rainbow Network’s new office is located on the third floor of the Student Center.
