As the oldest institution of its kind west of the Mississippi River, Saint Louis University has stood at the forefront for more than two centuries. From revolutionizing football with the forward pass to performing the Midwest’s first heart transplant, SLU is where history is made.
Some traditions endure: our proud Jesuit, Catholic foundation, a deep commitment to academic excellence and a calling to pursue social justice. Other stories have been lost to history — until now.
In the debut season of 1818: A Saint Louis University Alumni Podcast, we dive into SLU’s rich and often surprising legacy. Each episode features an unexpected conversation about SLU’s background, a dynamic roundtable with alumni, thought leaders and changemakers shaping the University’s next chapter, and a spotlight on distinctive alumni events and services.
Whether you’re a Billiken from yesterday, today or tomorrow, join us as we showcase the people and moments that define us.
