Today marks the one-year anniversary of Eastern Illinois University President Bill Perry's arrival at Eastern.

To commemorate Perry's time at Eastern so far, the Daily Eastern News followed Perry through a day of his life in office. From meetings, quiet time spent in his office, to walks down the street talking with Charleston residents and Eastern students, Perry has embraced his new town and school.

"I've really enjoyed my time here," said Perry.

His office is filled both with mementos of events from throughout his first year at Eastern and a collection of work from local artists, showing his commitment both to the school and the community.

The Daily Eastern News extends its congratulations to President Perry for the work he has done and will continue to do for our campus and students.
