After decades of service to Illinois Wesleyan, Ann Harding retired this month as director of Alumni Relations. Joining IWU’s Career Center in 1998, her dedication and gift of networking helped to develop her career and improve the alumni relationships university-wide. Her dedication will be missed, though she promises to stay connected, just as she has helped so many others do over the past sixteen years. Congratulations on your retirement, Ann!

The Class of 2004 had 78 donors for the Wesleyan All In campaign on April 2nd!

I'm-All-In-For-Wesleyan-icon 2014

Van Miller, Associate Director of the Wesleyan Fund, wrote: “All in for Wesleyan demonstrated to students that there’s a large network of alumni and friends who are helping make their educational experience great. Students showed their appreciation in many ways (social media, performances, etc.) and now have a better understanding of why annual support is so important to the future of Illinois Wesleyan. That lesson is so important for our students to learn, so thank you for playing an active role in teaching it.”

Thank you to everyone who supported the campaign. Your contributions support future opportunities for other Wesleyan students.
