Me & others at All in for Wesleyan `14 (back row, left)
Hello fellow 1998 Titans. I already posted the fiscal year end reminder to give that our office sent out. We’re now 155 donors away from our participation goal this year. I just wanted to write a quick note to thank all of the members of the Class of 1998 that have already given a gift this fiscal year or volunteered for the university in some capacity. As someone who works in the Advancement Office, I see the results that those gifts and time make on our students and on our campus. I’ve been here for almost seven years, longer now than the time I spent at Wesleyan as a student. In that time, we’ve created scholarships, professorships, research programs, built new buildings and remodeled older ones to adapt to changing times. I’ve gone to graduations as student workers in our office move on to their own careers and futures and welcomed new students into the fold. I’ve watched some of my favorite professors retire and have found new friends among faculty and staff alike.
The longer I stay, the prouder I am to be a Titan. I feel incredibly fortunate to be here, helping in my own small way to provide opportunities for current and future Titans to have the same (and better!) experiences that shaped my life. As the Researcher here, I’m constantly amazed by the variety of professions and successes our alumni have achieved. My charge is to keep the green fires burning and helping IWU continue to produce Titans we can all be proud of.
If you haven’t given and can help in any way, please please do so. There’s a link to give below, as well as on the right sidebar. You can also call the Advancement Office at 1-800-689-9743. You can ask for me and I’ll be happy to talk to you and take your info.
With gratitude,
Jack Baker `98
