Tuesday, April 3rd is our day of giving at Illinois Wesleyan, and this year’s theme is Think Bigger!

Not only is today a day for giving, it’s a day to celebrate IWU and all of the things that make it special. Last year, our class had 28 donors. Let’s try for 35 this year! We contributed $3,510. Our goal for this year is $4,000! Think of the impact this can make for IWU students and their families!

The spirit of giving is all around us this holiday season! Please consider giving the gift of bright futures to current and future Illinois Wesleyan University students. Your gifts provide opportunities and experiences that will be remembered for a lifetime.

Hello! I am your new Newsletter Editor for the Class of 2000. I graduated from IWU with a degree in English (Writing Concentration), and my minor was in History. Since then, I have worked in corporate communications, and I am also employed as a freelance publishing consultant.

I look forward to hearing from everyone. I know all of us have had a wealth of experiences since Graduation Day, and this newsletter offers us a chance to share and reconnect. I encourage everyone to help keep this page up to date by providing news, stories, and photos.

“Go into the world and do well. But more importantly, go into the world and do good.”
