Sustaining Ecosystems and Inspiring Change: A WIU Environmental Science Success Story
Western Illinois University stood out to me because of its strong reputation in Environmental Sciences, particularly its focus on large river ecosystems. The chance to engage in research on one of the world's most iconic river systems, the Mississippi River, was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
