Jeff Mavros was named Illinois State University’s Director of Admissions back in April of 2014.   This was bittersweet news for me, since Jeff and I had worked together in the IWU Advancement Office since I was hired back in November of 2007.  Jeff was a great colleague and a good friend.  We’re very proud of him here in our office and wish him nothing but success moving forward.  ISU is very lucky to have him.

Apologies

Hey ’98 Titans. I just wanted to do a quick post and apologize for the dearth of updates the past several weeks. I’ve been extremely busy with both of my jobs, but things should calm down here for the timing being. So look for some posts here in the next few days as I try to get caught up and I will endeavor to be quicker to post things going forward. Thanks everyone!
