Leatherneck Athletics to Host Business After Hours This Wednesday

Sunday, August 13, 2023 | By: WIU Athletic Communications

Western Illinois University Athletics will host the Macomb Area Chamber of Commerce 'Business After Hours' this Wednesday, August 16 at Western Hall. Business After Hours is a free networking opportunity for Chamber members and potential new members. Leatherneck Athletics, as well as the University, are proud members of the Chamber and welcome the opportunity to host the August event.

"We plan to make this Business After Hours a little more interactive than most," Director of Athletics Paul A. Bubb said. "We will have tours taking place that will visit our Sport Performance lab, the football and women's basketball team rooms, our athletic training facility, and have a chance to watch part of our volleyball team practice in Western Hall."

A short program will focus on the Leathernecks entering the Ohio Valley Conference this year, with the exceptions of football playing one last season in the Missouri Valley Football Conference and men's soccer playing the 2023 season in The Summit League. Both teams will then join the OVC in 2024. Guests will have the opportunity to win special prizes, including season tickets for football and men's and women's basketball.

Business After Hours is from 4:30 p.m. – 6:00 p.m. and guests are asked to park in Q Lot at the University. The reception will be held in the Main Lobby and the Hall of Fame Room at Western Hall.
