Monday, February 8 is Thank-A-Giver Day at Illinois Wesleyan and we’re eager to celebrate generous Titans!
Thank-A-Giver (TAG) Day is the symbolic point during the academic year — about 70% of the way through — when tuition dollars are exhausted and Illinois Wesleyan relies on donor generosity to continue providing a world-class education and rewarding collegiate experiences.
Each and every year, every gift matters. Contributions benefit students and faculty, enhance academic excellence, and strengthen the IWU community.

Hello IWU family!
I thought I would pass on some updates as it has been a while since I have shared anything.
It’s been an exciting year professionally! I continue to work for Mayo Clinic, where I have been since graduation from the IWU School of Nursing in 2001. In April 2020, I was named the Mayo Clinic School of Health Sciences Nurse Practitioner Program Primary Care Preceptor of the Year. In keeping with my commitment to advancing Nurse Practitioner Education, I was also promoted to Assistant Program Director for the Mayo Clinic School of Health Sciences Nurse Practitioner Program, supporting primary care and women’s health in October 2020.
I truly believe that my interest in nursing education was sparked during my time at IWU; surrounded by so many brilliant and passionate nurse educators definitely rubbed off!
Kindest regards,
Kim
