About
One pinnacle of Dr. Jack Thomas's journey was his leadership at Western Illinois University (WIU). With significant fiscal challenges, he adeptly managed a budget nearing $224 million. His tenure saw remarkable feats like heightened diversity, the introduction of innovative academic programs, and strengthened relations with corporations, communities, and K-12 institutions. Amidst Illinois' financial crunch, his foresight led to the birth of a new WIU campus in Moline and the realization of a multi-million dollar fundraising goal. His stewardship brought accolades to WIU, earning it the title of 'Best in the Midwest College' by the Princeton Review and a top-tier rating by U.S. News and World Report. But his influence isn't confined to academia alone.
