So this last weekend WIU brought their "dog and pony" show to the suburbs. Accepted students were invited to admission gatherings at the Cheese Cake Factory in Old Orchard/Skokie and Harry Carry's in the Woodfield Mall area. Presentations were given by housing staff, curricular staff, current students, and alumni "sandwiched" in between some really good treats! I participated in Saturday's event and the room was packed with interested student and parents twice for 2 two hour presentations. Heard that Sunday's gathering was very very well attended. But we all know that being accepted is not necessarily attending so closing the deal is very important. I got a bit "fired up" talking about my WIU experience. Of course while waiting we kept track of both the football and women's basketball game. IMO Seth Miner and his admissions staff are doing a really good job recruiting students. ;) jc
