RE: Residence Hall Move-In Aug. 21
Western Illinois University President Jack Thomas and other senior-level administrators will again be a part of WIU's Move-In Crew Friday, Aug. 21.
Thomas, along with Interim Provost Kathy Neumann and vice presidents Brad Bainter (Advancement and Public Services), Gary Biller (Student Services), Julie DeWees (Administrative Services), and Joe Rives (Quad Cities and Planning), will help new students move into Bayliss, Henninger and Tanner halls.
Media interested in interviewing new students and administrators, and taking photographs and video should arrive by 9:15 a.m. at Bayliss and Henninger halls (north quad).
Due to traffic congestion and to avoid getting caught in move-in lines, media are asked to park in the following lots: Q-Lot (west end) or the lot between Western Hall and Waggoner Hall. Parking is also available in the University Services Building lot (directly east of the Western Illinois Credit Union).
In addition, media are invited to attend the New Student Convocation at 5:30 p.m. Friday, Aug. 21 in Western Hall. Rocky After Dark will begin at 8:30 p.m. on Hanson Field.
For more information or to confirm attendance, call email DR-Shinberger@wiu.edu or call University Relations at (309) 298-1993.
If you would like my cell phone number in the event you need to contact me Friday, please e-mail me.
Media are also invited to attend the following:
Sept. 9: Community-University Partnership Program (CUPP) Block Party, 5-7 p.m., front lawn of Sherman Hall
Sept. 23: Founders' Day, 11 a.m.-1 p.m., Union Grand Ballroom
