Quad Cities region students interested in preparing for four-year programs in science, technology, engineering or mathematics-related (STEM) fields have a new opportunity to take university courses while they are still enrolled in high school.
Western Illinois University students participated in the 2022 WIU-Quad Cities and Online Student Research Conference April 25-29. A few students participated in live session recordings April 22 on campus.
Board of Trustees member Greg Aguilar, who is from the Quad Cities, said he’s okay with equalizing the fees, but emphasized the Quad Cities campus must get some value from the higher fees. He said far fewer activities and events are offered on that campus.
