Dear University Community,

As we prepare for the Fall 2018 semester at Western Illinois University, please let us join together to welcome our new and returning students, faculty and staff, and to be ready for an outstanding new academic year at Western Illinois University. I would like to invite University faculty, staff and administrators to join me for the University Assembly at 10 a.m. Thursday, Aug. 16 in Western Hall.

In addition to the State of the University address, Interim Provost and Academic Vice President Kathy Neumann will provide the State of Academic Affairs address, and WIU Board Chair Carolyn Ehlert Fuller and WIU Interim Director of Admissions Jason Woods will also speak. I invite all members of our University community to join us in greeting our new students and their families during move-in, the New Student Convocation, and Rocky After Dark on Friday, Aug. 17, and the first day of classes Monday, Aug. 20. We are excited to welcome the newest members of our Leatherneck family to campus, as well as our many returning students, faculty and staff.

Each of you makes Western Illinois University an incredible place to learn, work, and live, and I thank you for your continued dedication and support. I look forward to seeing you at the University Assembly in Western Hall on Aug. 16. Together, we will ensure that the 2018-2019 academic year provides outstanding educational experiences for all.

Sincerely,

Jack Thomas
President
