Editor's Note: This is the next in a series of stories about Western Illinois University students, alumni and community members, highlighting their experiences during our 125th anniversary celebration. We will feature 125 individuals from August 2024 to August 2025.

MACOMB, IL - - Erbin Zejnuloski, a Marketing graduate currently pursuing a Master of Business Administration (MBA) degree at Western Illinois University, chose WIU for its proximity to family, strong support system and campus culture.

Zejnuloski describes his time at WIU as enriching and fulfilling.

"I've gained valuable knowledge and skills that I can apply to my future career. The campus community has been incredibly welcoming, and I've had the chance to participate in various extracurricular activities and events. Overall, my experience has been memorable," Zejnuloski said.

He feels well-prepared to embark on his career after graduation, thanks to the knowledge, skills and critical thinking abilities he has developed at WIU.
"The support from the faculty in the College of Business and Technology has helped me grow professionally and guided me in building a strong portfolio," he said.

Zejnuloski encourages students to build positive relationships with their professors and schedule regular one-on-one meetings.

"They become your mentors and are eager to help guide you. Also, getting involved in campus activities can open doors to opportunities, like leadership roles, that help you develop skills you can use in the 'real world,'" Zejnuloski shared.

As we honor 125 years of educational excellence, we invite local WIU students to share their stories and be featured in our series. Contact University Communications at U-Communications@wiu.edu to participate.
