Thank a Giver Day

Thank A Giver Day marks the symbolic point during the year — about 70% of the way though — when tuition dollars run out and the University relies on the generosity of donors, the endowment, and external grants for the remainder of the year.

To be among those celebrated today, make a gift at www.iwu.edu/give.

If you have already donated this year, THANK YOU!
