Message from Ann Harding, Director of Alumni Relations
Thank you for reading and contributing to your class newsletter. What a great way to build class loyalty and to stay connected. Reading about each other is great, but coming back to homecoming is the BEST way to reconnect with IWU.
This year, homecoming is October 11-13. You will be receiving the homecoming brochure in the mail very soon. Plus you can review all the details and get yourself registered on titanpride.org
Our theme this year is A Class Act. I think you’ll see that everything we have planned this year will offer you a fun filled weekend with most activities free for everyone!! Class years ending in 3 and 8 are reunion years.
Besides registering for homecoming; I have one more request of you. I would like each of our 565 incoming first year students to have a welcome letter in their mail box when they arrive on August 20. Would you please write a note and send it to me at 1001 N. Main St., Bloomington, IL 61702-2900? Offer this new Titan a piece of advice, something to look for on campus or in the Bloomington Normal community or a fond memory you had of your first semester on campus. Be sure to sign it! If you’re able, please make several copies of your letter. I need 565 letters!!!
Lastly, thanks to all of you who made a gift to IWU this year. I’m sure you have read President Wilson’s messages about the increased need for financial aid to attract the best and the brightest to fill our classes. Without your generous support to the Wesleyan Fund, we will lose young people who really want to be a Titan, but need more help, financially.
My best~

On 4/6/12, my husband John and big sister Naomi welcomed our son, John Nels, into the world. Last fall, we moved from Rochester, MN to Denver, CO, and are loving the Mile High City. I recently started working as a Senior Account Executive for a government relations/PR firm called The Kenney Group.

In August 2012, I completed my PhD in Accountancy from the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign. I have been teaching as part of the faculty in the Department of Accounting at Illinois State University since the Fall of 2010. In November, I was very honored to receive the Arthur H. Winakor Award for the Outstanding Accounting Faculty Member of the Year, as voted on by members of the Student Accounting Society. Along with the birth of my beautiful twins, Grant Isaac and Susanna Elaine, these accomplishments made 2012 a very special and exciting year for me!

My paper proposal was selected out of hundreds of submissions to be presented at the 2013 College Art Association conference. I will be representing the City University of New York where I teach as an adjunct art history professor. My topic, “Antoine Claudet’s ‘The Geography Lesson’: French Daguerreotypes and Victorian Education,” is one of only eight poster sessions that will be presented during the annual conference.
