“The Caribbean region students have developed a stellar reputation for excellence at WIU,” said Dr. Mossman. “We are delighted to have them on our campus.”

Western Illinois University, a 125-year-old state institution, will join several other US and Canadian universities to meet prospective Dominican students at DSC and the National Stadium on June 11th.
