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.”
As IWU celebrates Titans Around the World at Homecoming this weekend, we will also honor our alumni who served worldwide as veterans and first-responders, including Captain Ryan A. Beaupre ’95. We will remember Ryan and all veterans and first-responders who have given their lives in the service of others and our country. Presenting the colors will be American Legion Color Guard Post 635 Normal and Post 56 from Bloomington. The ceremony will take place this Saturday, October 14th at 12:45 p.m., prior to the Homecoming Football game at Tucci Stadium and will include the National Anthem sung by Wayne Messmer ’72. Classmates and friends can view the ceremony on streaming video live at https://portal.stretchinternet.com/iwu/.
