Join Fred Martino for CapitolView Thursdays at 7:00pm. It’s the only weekly prime time broadcast television program devoted to the Illinois General Assembly. Fred Martino speaks with Daniel F. Mahony, Ph.D., Southern Illinois University System President. They discuss changes in higher education, the recent SIU Day in Springfield, and efforts to position the SIU System for the future.
