Behind the Scenes with Morgan Bjorkman

       As my time with the WIU Football team comes to an end, I would like to thank all the coaches for allowing me to travel with the team for some of the away games. It was something I never got to do as a college student. It was exciting to experience the hotel life of some of our away game. I get to walk on the field at all of the games but being on the Indiana University's (a Big 10 school) field was something else. I am so happy for these experiences and to sharpen my camera skills. This will definitely go on my resume.  

  Women Who Lift            I am an e-board member of the Women Who Lift Club here at Western Illinois University. Our club made friendship brackets and sold them for $1 at the union in October. That money went to the McDonough County Animal Shelter. With the friendship brackets sales and donations, we were able to donate over $120 to the animal shelter. Some of our members went to drop off the money and other items we donated and got to hang out with this good boy named Kane. 

             This picture is on the back of a trailer located at Handson Feild. I took a picture of the trailer when I was walking to film football practice. I decided to look up when these logos were used, and it was harder than I thought it would be to find that information. But after a few hours of research, I was able to find out the years. I personally love learning about the history of WIU. I would love to know the vibe and experience the students had back in the day. I imagine how the school would look when those logos were the face for WIU. My grandpa went to WIU form 1964-68s, and I think during Thanksgiving this year I'll ask him how the school, sport, and party life was while he was at WIU.
