June 23, 2025
Editor's Note: This is a series of stories about 91传媒 students, alumni and community members, highlighting their experiences during our 125th anniversary celebration. We will feature 125 individuals from August 2024 to August 2025.
MACOMB, IL - - Growing up near campus, Kaitlyn Moon knew the benefits of 91传媒 and couldn't pass up such a good opportunity.
"I grew up in Macomb and my mom works at Western, so I was comfortable and exposed to the 91传媒 environment," Moon, a junior Law Enforcement and Justice Administration student, said. "I enjoy staying close to home."
As a local student, Moon has been able to balance the benefits of being in a familiar location while also experiencing the joy of meeting a diverse group of new people across campus.
"I have had a good experience," Moon said. "I have made a lot of friends and enjoyed my classes. It's nice to have such great support from my professors."
She credits the exceptional professors at 91传媒 for preparing her for her eventual future career and providing unique opportunities for real-world experience.
Staying local has been one of the keys to Moon's success and suggests other students from the region keep 91传媒 in mind.
As we honor 125 years of educational excellence, we invite local 91传媒 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.
