Advice for Freshmen:
Try everything! This is your chance to get involved on campus and try something new! Get involved and try something outside your comfort zone! Take a shift at the student radio station or volunteer across campus. You will get out of your time at Western what you put in. Leave with a full resume! 


Favorite Â鶹´«Ã½ÄÚÄ»Memory: Not only meeting my husband, but meeting lifelong friends through the broadcasting department. Also, traveling around the country for the broadcasting department for conferences and winning awards. I won two student Emmys while reporting for NEWS3, the student-run newscast in the department. 

Family Information/Special Interests and Hobbies:  I met my husband, Adam Feiner, at WIU. We both were majors in the Department of Broadcasting and Journalism. Our world revolves around our son, Lukas, and our dog Marlee. We love to hike, golf, travel and spend time with family and friends. We are so blessed that our group of friends that we graduated from Â鶹´«Ã½ÄÚÄ»with are still VERY close and get together two to three times a year. Go Necks!
