Tim and Scott commemorated the occasion by watching the game on April 8, 2019, from left-field rooftop seats. Tim is a chief counsel and legal executive with Caesars Entertainment and lives in Plainfield, Illinois. Scott is a human resources executive with General Mills, living in Minneapolis. Tim and Scott are pictured here at opening day in 2016, the year the Cubs won the World Series.

Thank-A-Giver Day (TAG Day) is on Monday, February 11. This day provides the IWU campus community with the opportunity to thank the donors who support Illinois Wesleyan. IWU celebrates each year in mid-February because it marks the symbolic point during the academic year – about 70% of the way through – when tuition dollars run out and support from alumni and friends, our endowment, and external grants kicks in for the remainder of the year.
Thank you to all donors who help make the IWU experience possible!
Stephan Paul Antonacci ’90 has been named President and CEO of Security Bank in Springfield, IL. More about his accomplishment can be found here. Congratulations, Stephan!
Emeritus Associate Professor of Economics Robert (Bob) Leekley passed away on Tuesday, Jan.1. Prof. Leekley started teaching at Illinois Wesleyan in 1974, and from his first year to his 44th, his commitment to IWU and our students remained unchanged. His positive impact on generations of students and colleagues will not be forgotten. Read an obituary. A service will be held in the IWU Evelyn Chapel from 11-12 on Wednesday, January 9th.
