A Partnership With the Community

WEIU's mission is to use its human and technological resources in partnership with others to benefit EIU and help make Charleston and the surrounding area a better place to live, learn, work and play. We do this by:

  • Complementing the work of the School of Communication and Journalism at Eastern Illinois University by providing real-world training on state-of-the-art equipment to enable EIU students to become the most employable broadcast students in the United States.
  • Promoting community service through quality programming that engages and educates and through community outreach that has a positive impact.

Our vision is to be the model for broadcast education in the United States and to be a valued partner in improving the well being of the constituents that we serve.
