For many years - actually soon after I graduated - I have had a love/hate problem with WESTERN. I don't know why. I had no problems while there. I met my wife there. It just developed. I believe it goes back to having the impression that a lot of the administrators at WESTERN I observed after graduation (alumni events, sporting events, development folks) had this attitude of strutting around trying to act like they were "big time" folks. I also get so tired of hearing how WESTERN is a party school. I believe WESTERN did have a low image in the 90's- just my observation from talking with people in general.
However, I believe that image has greatly improved over the past years. There are many, many good things about WIU.
My resolution is to concentrate on helping make WESTERN a better place- by word of mouth, donations ( which we have done many times in the past), and in general being a better promoter of WIU.
Does that mean I will have blinders to issues, no.
Maybe my age is catching up to me, etc. But, I resolve to be more outward in a positive outlook regarding WIU.
Now, I will take my meds.
