After 26 years at IWU, Ann Harding retired in June 2014. Harding held the title of Director of Alumni Relations at her retirement. However, most 1994 grads will remember her tireless service to students as Internship Coordinator and
as Assistant Director of the Career Center during our time at IWU. Read the official IWU release regarding Ann’s retirement. She will be missed!

Hi, IWU Friends! Come see a wonderfully gorgeous production of Gilbert & Sullivan’s Ruddigore featuring Michael Macaione as Robin Oakapple in the Closing Cast performances, 4/5 (2pm), 4/9 (7:30pm), 4/11 & 12 (8pm). Celebrating our 90th season, this year’s proceeds will benefit QSAC (Quality Services for the Autism Community). And this is old-school operetta how it should be done with a 24-piece orchestra and not a microphone in sight! I hope to see you there!!!
Check it out here!
