| Abstract: |
In the path of both the 2017 and 2024 total solar eclipses, Southern Illinois University (SIU) Carbondale led a regional eclipse awareness and planning effort in the three years leading up to eclipse 2017. At the start of the fall 2017 semester four days of eclipse events were held for returning students and over 30,000 visitors who came to campus. Activities at SIU were hosted in partnership with NASA Space Science Education Consortium (Eclipse 2017), NASA Edge, the Adler Planetarium of Chicago, the Louisiana Space Consortium, and several local partners. The collaborative efforts resulted in the campus coming together to host the most impactful outreach events in SIU's history. |
