University Advancement at Western Illinois University

The mission of University Advancement at Western Illinois University is to share information about the achievements of the University, its students, faculty, alumni and programs; and to articulate the institution's needs in the form of budgetary, philanthropic and programmatic support. Advancement goals are achieved through the efforts of the WIU Foundation and Development Office, University Television, the Office of University Relations and the Visual Productions Center.

Advancement also occurs as a natural consequence of academic life at the University through the contact of its faculty and administration with students, parents and friends of WIU, and simply in the manner in which alumni and friends express their loyalty and concerns.
