"This program is something that allows me to expand my research experience. I've been involved in two research labs here at WIU in social psychology and personality, and now I will be studying cognitive processes, as well as the structure and function of the brain."

Psychology

"Even more than my school work, the professors and faculty of the political science department have given me the support to take on this experience and have helped me believe in myself. They helped prepare me by being more than educators, but mentors and a support system."

- Margarita Sotelo, senior
Political Science

"Faculty at WIU really take seriously the institution's mission to cultivate academic excellence, to help students achieve great personal growth, to learn about social responsibility, to have educational opportunities that they never would have experienced. I'm really proud to be a part of this tradition."

- Jen McNabb, professor and chair
Department of History
