Office of Admissions

I am incredibly proud to represent Eastern Illinois University because it is a place that not only shaped my academic journey but also provided me with invaluable life experiences. As a graduate, I learned that EIU is more than just a university - it's a community that fosters growth, resilience, and connection. Here at EIU, you get to experience firsthand the phenomenal support, encouragement, and personalized attention that makes this university so special.

EIU offers hands-on-experiences, internships, and opportunities to engage with faculty and peers, allowing you to apply what you've learned in the classroom to real-world situations. My time at Eastern not only equipped me with the knowledge and skills to succeed, but also instilled in me a deep sense of pride in being part of a university that truly invests in its students' futures. As an admissions counselor, I'm thrilled to help future students experience the same personal and academic growth that I did. Representing EIU is an honor, and I'm proud to share
