Many Opportunities

QuoteWestern understands its students, our university is designed for students to make their education what they want it to be. Our flexible course offerings with online and in person choices allows for me to balance music, work, and classes while still having time to volunteer in my community or spend time with my family. I'm so thankful to have found Western, it never fails to grant me with opportunities.

Just Hired!

QuoteI gained valuable insights and mentoring from both my instructors, Heidi Lung and Angela McClanahan-Simmons. I would not have had the edge in this interview without the material culture and collections management knowledge I gained from the Museum Studies Program at WIU.
