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!
Katie Brokaw ’02
Katie Brokaw ’02 has published her first book, Staging Harmony: Music and Religious Change in Late Medieval and Early Modern Drama, with Cornell University Press.
More details are here:
Katie said, “One of the great joys of working through the final stages of this book was the discovery that my excellent editorial assistant was a fellow Titan: Bethany Wasik, ’04!”
Katie is currently assistant professor of English at the University of California-Merced, where she teaches medieval and renaissance literature.
