Many of us were touched by the service of Darcy Greder during our time at IWU, and many of us remain in touch with Dean Greder over Facebook.

Personally, I’m still grateful for so many of the musical performances she brought to IWU including that Ani DiFranco show at Shirk our Freshman year. Was anyone else there for that one? And, of course, who can forget PB&J in The Dugout?

For all of you Darcy admirers out there, you’ll be happy to read that she’s won the Max L. Starkey Award for Service! Congratulations and deepest thanks to Darcy on this well-deserved recognition.

Laurie Diekhoff departed from IWU after 10 years at the Hart Career Center. She told her colleagues, “I spent 10 great years at the Career Center, enjoying my work, my colleagues, and the many relationships I have made on campus and in the community as a result of this position. Assisting students with their career development plans, helping employers fulfill their hiring needs, developing new programs, and contributing to the ongoing success of the Hart Career Center has been quite rewarding!”

Assistant Professor of Nursing Lydia Bertschi ’05 has been selected among 40 Under 40 Emerging Nurse Leaders by the Illinois Nurses Foundation. Read more about it here!

Congratulations, Lydia!

Tomorrow is the big day! IWU’s annual “All in for Wesleyan” campaign is back, and there are some fantastic matching opportunities afoot.

Stay tuned (get it?) to your email and IWU’s Facebook and Twitter to get updates and instructions so that you can make the most of your donation.

More than a few of our former professors would take this opportunity to make a “turn on, tune in, drop out” joke here, but we’re all too young for that, right? 😉
