INTRODUCTION
It's more than just obtaining a degree from a great University, it's really more about how EIU plants the foundation for Âé¶¹´«Ã½ to become lifelong learners. The institutional culture at EIU is one that centers around Âé¶¹´«Ã½. I'm most proud to represent a University that puts Âé¶¹´«Ã½ at the core of decision making and planning. There is an even greater pride when I encounter alums of EIU. It becomes apparent that the education you receive at EIU is one to be proud of and one that will stand the test of time.
Consider the opportunities you will have at becoming fully engaged in all aspects of campus life at EIU. Students should envision themselves lashing out at the many ways to connect with the world through EIU's academic courses, study-abroad options and other measures that foster global learning. More importantly, prospective Âé¶¹´«Ã½ should visit the campus, utilize the many social media platforms and make strides at moving further along in the enrollment process.
