Cameron Ruiz

Associate Director of Admissions for Recruitment

My name is Cameron Ruiz I am from Rock Island, IL and am a 3rd generation alumni of WIU with 2 aunts, an uncle, and mom all attending. I graduated with my B.A. in Liberal Arts and am currently working on my Master's in College Student Personnel at the Quad Cities Campus.

Before joining the admissions team I worked as a student worker for 3 years as both a student worker and a representative of Americorps. In that time I helped manage our food pantry, helped to establish our campus garden, and helped with planning campus events. I am beyond excited to do my part in creating the positive experience here at Western that I was able to benefit from. I also enjoy giving back to the community that raised me and have done that by coaching youth and high school sports at Rock Island High School while also piloting an after-school program there through an internship in the LAS program here at WIU.

My favorite thing about WIU are the people that made me feel valued and supported from the day I set foot on campus. My goal is to be able to recreate that for current and future students of this university.
