Our members under pressure and threats


Highlighting UPI members and their dedication to the students and their work

From UPI at WIU Facebook UPI @ WIU UNIT B FACULTY TESTIMONIAL:

UNIT B FACULTY TESTIMONIAL: ANDRE DU PLESSIS



First of all I need to talk about how the non-renewal of my contract will affect me as well as my partner. I joined WIU in Sept 2022 from South Africa. Currently my immigration process is on hold due to this action by the BOT and if my contract is not renewed it will mean that I have to leave the US and I have nothing to go back to as our house and everything was sold to start a new life here at WIU. There are also no job opportunities in South Africa where there is a unemployment rate approaching 35%.


- I serve as Vice-President of Programs and Development on the Project Management Institute Quad Cities Chapter.
