Director's Corner

News from Your Alumni Association

Amy SpelmanGreetings!

I’d like to take this opportunity to introduce you to our newest Alumni Programs staff member Michael Jones. He joined our department April 20 as the new assistant director, replacing Amanda Shoemaker, who was named associate director in March.

Michael, who is known as the “Voice of Western Illinois University Athletics,” worked for Prestige Communications (formerly Central Illinois Broadcasting) for 10 years, where he served as sports director and promotions director. Before that, he was a play-by-play announcer at WMOI/WRAM Radio in Monmouth.

I’m so pleased that Michael has joined our staff. He is well-known throughout this region and has a great deal of experience. I know you will enjoy meeting and working with Michael.

I’m looking forward to seeing you at our events across the U.S.

Amy Spelman
