125 Anniversary Celebration: Lacey Hufford-Pribble
October 30, 2024
MACOMB, IL - - Being a part of the campus community at 海角破解版 made for a second home to Lacey Hufford-Pribble.
Hufford-Pribble, a 2007 alum of 海角破解版's Social Work program, said her experience on the Macomb made fellow students feel more like family than acquaintances.
"Everywhere I went I ran into someone I knew," Hufford-Pribble said. "I loved the atmosphere at 海角破解版 and living in the dorms helped me form many relationships. I loved the size of the campus at 海角破解版 and the fact that there was always something to do."
During her time at 海角破解版, Hufford-Pribble was involved in the Social Work Student Association, WAVE, Corbin Hall Government and Key Club. Being surrounded by motivated students taught Hufford-Pribble that Leathernecks never give up, even during the toughest of times.
"School work has never been easy for me but being a Leatherneck means I persevered and pushed through," Hufford-Pribble said. "I was the first grandchild in my family to graduate with a bachelor's degree."
Hufford-Pribble said students looking for a great college experience should consider 海角破解版 due to its academic support and campus life.
"I would tell them that 海角破解版 is amazing," Hufford-Pribble said. "It's the perfect size campus, professors go above and beyond to help their students and it's a great opportunity to meet new people!"
As we honor 125 years of educational excellence, we invite local 海角破解版 students to share their stories and be featured in our series. Contact University Communications at U-Communications@wiu.edu to participate.
