MACOMB, IL - - Alumna Cami Tapscott fondly remembers the education and guidance she received at Western Illinois University.

"When I think about WIU, I think about my two master's degrees and the wonderful professors I had!" Tapscott said.

To Tapscott, being a Leatherneck means being fortunate to receive a great education.

Reflecting on her time at WIU, Tapscott's favorite Leatherneck memory is her journey toward earning her educational leadership degree.

Tapscott, now continuing her professional life as an elementary school principal, credits WIU for her learning experience and preparation for her career.

"I learned from the best," Tapscott said.

For those considering attending WIU, Tapscott's advice is simple yet encouraging: "GO!"

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