Thank you to Ron Clauser ’58 who shared his IWU memories!

The IWU tradition he remembers is wearing a beanie as a freshman.

The campus events that are most memorable are the sporting events and drama presentations.

If he were to return to campus, he would visit the library first.

In his memories, Ron also shared a message that:

“Even though I live in North Carolina, I have family in Illinois and have returned to the campus to visit and attend homecomings. Through visits, I have seen classmates, met fellow alumni, and old and new faculty. The spirit of IWU continues to flow through all these encounters. 

Combined, Nancy and I have six children, twelve grandchildren, and five great grandchildren. They live in North Carolina, South Carolina, New Jersey, Kentucky, and California. We are blessed by each of them and their spouses plus our own life together at Lake Junaluska in the North Carolina mountains.” 

Thank you Ron for sharing your IWU memories with us, and we wish all the best to you and your wonderful family!
