WIU's 125th
Anniversary
Since the beginning, Western Illinois University has made its mission to impact lives and empower students through education to build a better tomorrow.
Since 1899 our fighting Leatherneck spirit has strengthened and evolved. With fortitude, we remain devoted to our vision. Brave and loyal, we stand as Leathernecks. For our students. Our region. Our state. And beyond. For the past 125 years, this unity has taken us far beyond where our founders ever imaged.
