February 20th is Thank A Giver Day, when students, faculty, and staff across campus are celebrating donors and the impact they have on campus. Thank A Giver Day symbolizes the day when tuition dollars runout and the University relies on donors, the endowment, and external grants to cover the costs for the remaining 30% of the year.

Many of us understand firsthand the impact of donor support in enabling our experiences as a Titan. Today’s the day to show our appreciation. Make a gift at www.iwu.edu/give. If you have already made a gift this year, thank you!

And, as always, if you have a story to share about how your IWU experience was impacted by donors, we want to hear it! Use #IWUThanks in your post.
