Community Building

Information Sharing

Dr. Gordon will be available in the clubhouse one night a week to offer advice and help the McKendree West students with their academic issues.
Meet the Faculty/Staff
Each month Dr. Gordon will invite a new group of faculty and staff members to McKendree West. This gives the McKendree West students and opportunity to get to know the faculty and staff of McKendree University outside of the classroom or office.
