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!

The class of 2001 exceeded the 24% challenge!  At least eight young alumni challenges were met in 2015, resulting in $20,000 of additional scholarship support for IWU students!

Young Alumni Challenge:  If our class reaches 30% participation, two gifts of $2,500 (for a total of $5,000) 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!

Erika Holst ’01 married Christopher Schnell last year and they have a

little boy named Anders Christopher.

Congratulations!

As Curator of Collections of historic Edwards Place in Springfield, Illinois, Erika recently oversaw the complete restoration of the first floor of this mansion to its 1858 appearance.  Erika’s book, “Edwards Place: A Springfield Treasure” was published in conjunction with this restoration.  The book was published by the Springfield Art Association in April of 2015.  It chronicles the story of Edwards Place from its construction in 1858 to its heyday as a social center of Lincoln’s Springfield, to its years as an artistic hub of downstate Illinois, and finally through the restoration process.
