Western Illinois University (WIU) now boasts a growing population of international students from the Caribbean, with more than 70 students enrolled at Western in the past two semesters. In July 2021, Western Illinois University signed its first MOU (Memorandum of Understanding) with The Caribbean Examinations Council (CXC) to assure seamless transfer opportunities for students from 16 Caribbean countries to study at WIU.
In addition to the CXC agreement, WIU has established partnerships with Clarence Fitzroy Bryant College, Anguilla Community College, Antigua State College, Charlestown Secondary School Sixth Form, Dominica State College, Sir Arthur Lewis Community College and TA Marryshow Community College. According to Associate Vice President for Global Studies and Associate Dean for Graduate School, Randy Glean (PhD), these agreements are fully articulated to ensure that students receive full applicable credit for their studies in the region.
Dr. Randy Glean, will be conducting an information session to sensitize St. Lucians about the opportunities available for studying at the University. An “on the spot” evaluation and admission for prospective undergraduates, and general seminars on opportunities for small groups of students will also be conducted for those individuals who are desirous of attending this institution.
All interested persons are invited to attend this information session which will be held on Tuesday March 22, 2022, from 1:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. at the Castries City Hall, Peynier Street, Castries.
