Things to Do
Sports & Recreation
- Campus Recreation - a swimming pool, a walking track, cardio equipment, intramural activities, and much more!
- Athletics - Leathernecks in action
If you have an interest, WIU has a group for you! We have academic honors societies, sports clubs, and service organizations, or, you can start your own!
“I’ve grown accustomed to the 'Western-way-of-life.' I love the fact that there is so much to do at Western. I have been provided with so many opportunities to get to know people, stay active, have fun and get a beneficial education. I enjoy being part of Tradicion because I love to dance Salsa, Merengue and other modern Latin dances. ”
~Kevin Caples, Hospitality & Restaurant Management
Student Life
“There’s nothing to do” - not true!
Four years should be enough to sample all the cultural, educational, entertainment and social activities on campus…be sure not to miss out.
