MACOMB, IL – The Western Illinois University Department of Health Sciences is hosting a retirement reception for Professor Jeanne Clerc from 1-3 p.m. Tuesday, April 29, in Stipes Hall 501. Refreshments will be served.

Clerc began her tenure at Western in 2004 as the associate provost for WIU-QC and extended studies and a professor in the educational leadership department. In 2008, she began her post as a professor in the health sciences department.

Prior to her career in higher education, she practiced as a registered medical technologist (clinical laboratory scientist) and is certified as a specialist in hematology through the American Society of Clinical Pathologists.
