Admissions, Alumni, and More

With temperatures in the 80s, it finally feels like spring on the Downers Grove Campus. While the weather is an important indicator, what truly is more reflective of the season is the activities of the wildlife on our campus. And, this spring, we have a baby owl!

After several months of ground preparation and foundation work, the shape of Science Hall is finally rising over the campus.

Last week, I traveled on behalf of MWU to our nation's capital to attend the annual conference of the National Association of Independent Colleges and Universities (NAICU). I was able to network with other academic administrators, hear from Washington influence leaders, and visit with our legislators. I also took the time to take in a few sights.

MWU alumni are an accomplished group. We read about then in our local newspapers and encounter them in our daily work and personal lives. And, always, it is an honor and pleasure to know them.

As the year draws to a close, I wanted to take a brief minute in my blog to thank my wonderful team for all they do to make Midwestern University such a special place. These are the staff you--our alumni, prospective students, applicants, the media, and the general public--are most likely to encounter at the University. And they make me very proud each and every day.
