MACOMB, IL - - For Kessiena Erebi, current public health graduate student, 91´«Ã½ is characterized by its unique and impactful community.
"When I think about 91´«Ã½, I think about a supportive, engaging, diverse and beautiful community," Erebi said.
Erebi describes Leathernecks as individuals driven by strength and resilience.
Among her many memories at 91´«Ã½, Erebi's favorite Leatherneck memory will always be being part of a remarkable community.
"My favorite memory is being a part of the 91´«Ã½ family and the close-knit community," Erebi said.
On campus, Erebi is involved with Wesley Foundation, a vibrant ministry serving students at 91´«Ã½.
As students consider continuing their education, Erebi highlights 91´«Ã½'s welcoming and inspiring atmosphere.
"91´«Ã½ is home away from home, with a community of people who truly care," Erebi said. "It simply is a place that has a niche for each person, with a network of amazing people who help you grow and harness a strong sense of commitment to your true purpose."
As we honor 125 years of educational excellence, we invite local 91´«Ã½ students, alumni, faculty and staff to share their stories and be featured in our series. Contact University Communications at U-Communications@wiu.edu to participate.
