Emily Brooks - Admissions Counselor

Welcome to Western Illinois- Quad Cities!

My name is Emily Brooks, and I am an Admissions Counselor based out of the Quad City campus. I started with Western-QC at the end of 2011, and I am very excited to represent a university that has so much to offer!

I graduated from Winona State University in Minnesota with an Elementary Education degree. I taught 5th Grade for two years near Rockford, Illinois and moved to the Quad Cities for the opportunity to represent Western Illinois University.

My current territory is Southeastern Iowa, Des Moines (Polk County), and select schools in Henry IL County (Kewanee, Stark County, Wethersfield and Black Hawk-East Community College).

Kassie Daly - Assistant Director of Admissions

Greetings!

I’m Kassie Daly and I love working at Western Illinois University Quad Cities. As a 2002 Recreation, Park Tourism and Administration graduate from the WIU Macomb campus it has been great to tell students about the fantastic Western experience students can have here in the Quad Cities! I also earned my masters in education from the University of Illinois-Champaign in Human Resource Development.

Before joining the admissions team here at Western Illinois University Quad Cities I was with admissions at John Wood Community College for almost 6 years prior to relocating to the Quad Cities with my family. I joined Western Illinois University Quad Cities in May of 2010. My favorite part of admissions is all the interesting people I get to meet.

My territory covers area high Schools in parts of Rock Island, Mercer, and Henry County, along with community colleges in the Quad Cities, Eastern Iowa, Southeastern Iowa, Iowa City, and DesMoines Area.

If you miss me when I am in your area feel free to schedule a visit to campus anytime!
