Western Illinois University has been designated as a National Center of Academic Excellence in Cyber Defense (NCAE-CD) for its Bachelor of Science degree in Cybersecurity. The NCAE-CD program is managed by the NSA’s National Cryptographic School, with federal partners including the Department of Homeland Security, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and the National Science Foundation (NSF)
At the recent Board of Trustees meeting, six Western Illinois University faculty were granted tenure by the Board. In addition, I have approved promotions for 18 faculty. I d like to take this opportunity to publicly congratulate our newly tenured and promoted faculty members, and to thank all of our faculty members for their continued dedication to WIU and our students.
