Save WIU EM Program and Faculty

This program brought me a 2016 World Series ring! It will always live on no matter what, keep this major/career alive.

Great program. So many uses in our communities.

This program and its graduates have made substantial contributions to public health emergency preparedness and response in Illinois. Every effort should be made to keep this program open.

Emergency management is a critically necessary program, especially in the Midwest. As the costs of college continue to rise, having a recognized and respected EM program in an affordable and accessible location that will graduate the next generation of EM leaders without significant financial debt as they enter this life-saving career is valuable beyond measure to not only the state, but the Midwest and the country as a whole. Please do not eliminate the EM program at WIU.

This program graduates future leaders and forward thinkers. I have had the privilege of working with several of your Graduates, and I said to myself after our encounters, WIU Preparedness program is putting out excellent products. I found this amazing that after the 3rd graduate. Please reconsider eliminating the program...

Please save this program. Emergency Management is a growing career field.

This is a wonderful program and much needed for Illinois emergency management training and development. I’ve worked with many of the graduates and faculty and they are outstanding. It would definitely be a shame to see the program close

Let’s do this

Professional emergency managers are vital to the safety of all Illinoisans.

This program did not just provide me an education, it open so many opportunities.

I personally believe it would be a huge mistake to eliminate this program.

This is a quality program with a great future if given time and support.

All traditional academic disciplines are important to someone, but Emergency Management is important to everyone. Please keep alive Emergency Management until 2024 so WIU could graduate enough cohorts to create a self sustained knowledge environment on emergency preparedness and mitigation that will help save hundred of million dollars to Macomb and the great State of Illinois.

Please keep the emergency program

Emergency Management is a very important job. The fact that WIU would be so callus to cut this major appals me. It seems obvious to me that the administration does not look at the entire picture, or they just don't care.

Save WIU

I was the first graduate of this program.

WIU has all ready cut to much. Don’t cut this program.

Please continue this life saving program.
