THANK YOU to all of our fiscal year 2015 donors! Illinois Wesleyan University‘s alumni participation rate has increased for the third year in a row thanks to the generosity of donors like you! Your support helps to ensure IWU is stronger and more affordable for current and future generations of Titans. You’ve done well, and you’ve done good! Go Titans!

Christina grew up in the western suburb of Glen Ellyn, Illinois. She graduated from Glenbard West High School in 1986 and in 1990, she received her Bachelor of Arts degree from Illinois Wesleyan University where she majored in English and graduated with honors.

Christina always loved radio, especially talk radio. Now, not many people can say they got their start in radio at Hooters… but, in the summer of 1993, Christina played hooky from her nine-to-five job to attend a remote broadcast of “The Steve Dahl & Garry Meier Show,” which was at a Hooters. Soon after, Steve Dahl gave Christina her first industry job as his office manager. After learning the ropes, Christina began to work for WLUP as a producer for “The Steve Dahl Show” and she continued on as a producer for Steve’s later shows on WMVP and WCKG. Eventually, Christina began to host the “Best of” shows — and she was hooked!

In 1996, Christina was hired by Shadow Broadcast Services as a traffic reporter. Ironically, she started out working for WLS-AM radio on the overnight shift. Over the years you have heard Christina on over 20 Chicago area stations, including WLS, WBBM, WUSN, WCKG, WJMK, WSCR and WIND and she has also reported traffic on television for NBC5.

Christina can be heard once again in the afternoons from 2:00 to 6:00 p.m. on Roe and Roeper.

Illinois Wesleyan’s fiscal year end is quickly approaching on July 31. Have you shown your Titan Pride by making a gift this year?

Check out the new Tommymometer to see where we stand by clicking here.

If you have already made a gift this year, thank you! If you have not yet made your gift, there is still time for you to make a difference this year.

By making your gift  before July 31, you will not only add to the Tommymometer for alumni donors, but you will help to keep current Illinois Wesleyan students enrolled and our alma mater strong. The percentage of alumni donors is important to IWU because outside organizations view it as a metric to measure alumni satisfaction. It affects Illinois Wesleyan’s rankings, bond rating, and ability to earn grants.

Thank you for doing your part to fill the Tommymometer before July 31 and keep Illinois Wesleyan moving forward!
