Korey Coon will be honored during Homecoming activities on October 10, 2015.

Dijon Schroff ’00 has been recognized by the Pantagraph for her hard work in giving back to the community. After a rough childhood, Dijon worked to make a successful life, and also got involved with today’s youth to improve their lives by joining Big Brothers/Big Sisters in Bloomington. She collects bike parts and repairs old ones to give them back to children that need bikes, which according to Dijon, is “a huge deal for someone who otherwise has no transportation.” She has already given away 77 bicycles, and plans to keep helping the youth in our town.

THANK YOU to all of our fiscal year 2015 donors! Illinois Wesleyan University‘s alumni participation rate has increased for the third year in a row thanks to the generosity of donors like you! Your support helps to ensure IWU is stronger and more affordable for current and future generations of Titans. You’ve done well, and you’ve done good! Go Titans!

Young Alumni Challenge:  If our class reaches 24% participation, an additional gift of $2,500 will be made in honor of our class. Let’s move the Tommymometer to the top!

Without alumni support, IWU simply wouldn’t be the same.  Time is running out to make a difference this fiscal year.  Help to keep IWU moving forward and show your Titan Pride by making a gift before this Friday, July 31!

  Only 36 more donors are needed to
reach 24% giving for our Class by
July 31.

Give to the Wesleyan Fund

  Reach 5,286 Donors by July 31st!

A trustee has agreed to make a
$2,500 gift for every young alumni
class (1999-2014) who reaches 24%
or better before July 31.

This means that for every class that
hits 24%, IWU will be able to award
an additional $2,500 scholarship to
a deserving student.

Also, an additional $2,500 gift will be made for any class
that reaches 30%!

On April 9, Titans of all generations pulled together and showed their pride on the third annual All In For Wesleyan. More than 1,800 gifts of all sizes from 49 states and 17 countries totaled over $500,000 in support of Illinois Wesleyan University and our students. Our collective philanthropy served as an inspiration to the next generation as All In For Wesleyan firmly established itself as an Illinois Wesleyan tradition, both on campus and off. The class of 2000 had 52 donors on April 9th and donations totaling $7,008.33.

Thank you 2000 Alumni for being “all in” all the time, and for continuing to make Illinois Wesleyan one of your giving priorities. If you have already made your gift this year, thank you! If you have not made your gift this year, I hope that you will join me as a donor and put us one more gift closer to our participation goal. You can make your gift by visiting iwu.edu/give. It is your support that keeps Illinois Wesleyan strong, and develops the next generation of leaders.

Your partner in support,
Van Miller ‘04
Director of Annual Giving
