MACOMB/MOLINE, IL - - Being a Leatherneck is all about strength and standing out, according to Western Illinois University Management instructor Andre DuPlessis.

"(They are) strong and resilient," Du Plessis said. "I am a part of a great team."

Du Plessis works on the WIU-Quad Cities campus and serves on the Supply Chain Management Advisory Board at WIU and has expertise in Business Strategy, International Management and Project Management. He said WIU gives students an advantage that other universities may not be able to provide.

"Here, you are not just a number, you are seen," Du Plessis said.

As we honor 125 years of educational excellence, we invite local WIU students to share their stories and be featured in our series. Contact University Communications at U-Communications@wiu.edu to participate.
