Several IWU alumni will be starring in the hit Neil Simon comedy, Laughter no the 23rd Floor at First Folio Theatre. Directed by Alison C. Vesely ’79 and starring Hayley L. Rice ’04 as Carol and Wayne Temple ’98 as Milton. Laughter on the 23rd Floor transports theater patrons back to 30 Rockefeller Center in the 1950s and features a meticulously designed set and costumes, a la Mad Men.

Greetings, Titans!

For all of you who attended Homecoming, I hope you had a wonderful time visiting campus, reuniting with fellow classmates, and making memories to last a lifetime. If you took photos while you were here, please send them to classnews@iwu.edu with names and captions. We will post them to your Online Class Newsletter. Check here to see if you or your friends were featured in the campus Homecoming Album.

We were thrilled to offer outstanding Back to College classes taught by our talented alumni and esteemed faculty. If you weren’t able to attend the Back to College classes, you’re in luck! Click here to view the classes available.

Alumni award winners, Kyle Pfortmiller ’92, Sean Parsons ’01 and Kris Condon ‘84 gave heartfelt tributes to faculty mentors and their alma mater at the Oct. 18 Homecoming luncheon where they were honored. Those speeches can be viewed here.

Please take a few minutes and give us your feedback so that we can make Homecoming even better. We hope to see you next year. Mark your calendars for October 9-11, 2015!

Homecoming-2014-logo-342-K (1) squareHomecoming 2014 was a total blast! It was great to see so many alums back and on the campus. If any of you were there, I was the long-haired guy driving golf carts around for a few hours on Friday and Saturday, as well as making sure the Back to College Classes all ran smoothly. If you weren’t there, you can see photos from the day here:
