Beginning Nov. 19, Maguire will launch a new career as director of public relations and fund development with McDonough District Hospital in Macomb.

"As I look forward to a new career in a similar field, McDonough District Hospital is an outstanding service provider for our community and especially Western employees and students. As a lifelong resident of Macomb, it is a good fit for me professionally and personally," he said.

"John Maguire has provided outstanding service to Western Illinois University for over 30 years," said Western President Al Goldfarb. "He will be greatly missed."

In recognition of Maguire's work with the university, his retirement reception has been scheduled in the University Union Lamoine Room for Nov. 14 from 4 to 6 p.m.
