Keep an eye out for student Orientation Team (O-Team) member posts on our page. These students are a great resource for you as you make your way to campus and learn about everything you need to know to be successful at WIU.

Although these O-Team members are not full-time professional staff members — and as such, are not official representatives of the University — they can be a great help to you as you learn your way around WIU! They have received extensive training and have worked with first-year students, so they are great people to ask for more information about the university from a student’s perspective!

• Dave Arnold, Junior, Marketing major, from Williamsville, IL


• Nicole Brady, Junior, Communication major, from Pekin, IL
