Let’s Move the Tommymometer to the Top!
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!
Jason Jones ’91
We all learned yesterday (April 7, 2015) about the plane crash east of the Central Illinois Regional Airport and the tragic death of all seven passengers who were returning from the NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament in Indianapolis. As more information has become available, we have been informed that one of the passengers was Jason Jones, a 1991 graduate of Illinois Wesleyan.
Jason was a senior vice president in the Bloomington offices of Wells Fargo Advisors. A native of Lincoln, Illinois he graduated from IWU with a degree in business administration, played on our men’s basketball and baseball teams, and was a member of the Sigma Chi Fraternity. Jason was an enthusiastic and loyal alumnus of the University.
I know you will want to join me in extending our deepest sympathies to Jason’s wife, Lyndsey, and their two children, Jack and Kate, as well as to all the families who lost loved ones in this terrible accident. This is a very sad time for the University and our community.
Sincerely,
Richard F. Wilson
