IWU class of 1977 alumni Herb and Susan Getz \u2013 both from families with deep roots in Carroll County \u2013 created a scholarship to help students afford the educational investment. After graduating from Illinois Wesleyan, Herb went on to earn his Juris Doctor from Harvard Law School, and since 2001, he has served as president of Aspen Creek Partners, a residential design-build firm in Naperville, Illinois.<\/p>\n

\u201cSusan and I are both kids of working class parents,\u201d said Getz, who serves as a vice chair on the IWU Board of Trustees. \u201cWe both absolutely needed scholarship help to attend Illinois Wesleyan.
