Thank a Giver Day

 

Today students, faculty, and staff across campus are celebrating donors and the impact they have on campus.

Thank A Giver Day marks the symbolic point during the year — about 70% of the way though — when tuition dollars run out and the University relies on the generosity of donors, the endowment, and external grants for the remainder of the year.

Share how your IWU experience was impacted by donors using #IWUThanks

Donor support allows IWU students to continue to have experiences that make being a Titan unique and transformative.

To be among those celebrated today, make a gift at www.iwu.edu/give.

If you have already made a gift this year, thank you!
