News from Your Alumni Association

Amy SpelmanHappy Holidays from the Western Illinois University Alumni Association! December marks a milestone each year for many of us at WIU. Nearly 1,000 students will receive their degrees and we welcome our newest members into the Alumni Association upon their degree completion. The holidays and graduation are both cause for celebration at your alma mater.

As this great time of the year approaches, we must also remember those we have lost in the past year and thank the men and women of our armed forces for all they do for this country, putting themselves in harm’s way every day.

The end of 2008 and the coming year in 2009 will bring exciting opportunities for us to see our many alumni and friends around the country. We hope you will consider joining us at one of our many events in the Quad Cities; in Florida; or in Chicago at Howl at the Moon, or at Steppenwolf Theatre for the production of “The Seafarer” starring WIU graduate John Mahoney MA ‘76 who will visit with us after the show, or at our complimentary event at The Art Institute of Chicago, or Chicago Symphony Hall for the WIU Symphonic Wind Ensemble performance. We have several other events scheduled throughout the spring in our effort to bring WIU to YOU! A full schedule can be found at wiu.edu/alumni/events. See you soon...
