The Alumni Relations office will be working with the 1950’s newsletter editors to send out paper newsletters this summer.  If you have not returned your green alumni update form that was sent with the last paper newsletter, please return that  form to the alumni office.  News from those forms is put in the paper newsletters.  Please send in photos with captions as well.  If you have had a change of address or phone and want that change placed in the paper newsletter for your classmates to see, let us know.  News regarding your travels, volunteer service, or interests can be written on the back of the green form if you wish to share that in the paper class newsletters.

We are glad that some folks are enjoying the online newsletter as well.

On April 9, Titans of all generations pulled together and showed their pride on the third annual All In For Wesleyan. More than 1,800 gifts of all sizes from 49 states and 17 countries totaled over $500,000 in support of Illinois Wesleyan University and our students. Our collective philanthropy served as an inspiration to the next generation as All In For Wesleyan firmly established itself as an Illinois Wesleyan tradition, both on campus and off. The classes from 1950-1959 had 76 donors on April 9th and donations totaling $36,032.80.

Thank you 1950-1959 Alumni for being “all in” all the time, and for continuing to make Illinois Wesleyan one of your giving priorities. If you have already made your gift this year, thank you! If you have not made your gift this year, I hope that you will join me as a donor and put us one more gift closer to our participation goal. You can make your gift by visiting iwu.edu/give. It is your support that keeps Illinois Wesleyan strong, and develops the next generation of leaders.

Your partner in support,

Van Miller ‘04

Director of Annual Giving

Today is All in for Wesleyan 2015!  All gifts made today will be matched by an anonymous donor (up to $75,000).

And this year, there’s a twist.  Let me explain.

Gifts to the Wesleyan Fund support student financial assistance and also the little, but essential, things that create the Illinois Wesleyan experience.  So today we’re celebrating these little essentials — the unsung heroes.  Make a gift today and your name could appear next to one of these items for a limited time.*

Give today and your name could be selected to grace the hot spot, the WESN microphone, and other pieces of campus that will be announced throughout the day. (Learn more)

Give today and your gift will be matched by an anonymous donor.

Give today and show that you’re proud to be a Titan!

Welcome to the 1950’s Decade Class Newsletter, an online location to share news and photos with fellow IWU Alumni from 1950-1959.  If you click the computer mouse graphic in the right hand column you can send the Alumni Relations Office news to post.  We love to have photo files to include with your news if you have them.  Please call 1-888-498-2586 if you have any questions.

This online class newsletter will not replace your yearly paper class newsletters from IWU, so do not worry about that.  We will be putting together the next paper newsletters in the summer of 2015.
