10 Year Reunion

Hello Fellow Titans!
Kelly (Goodpaster) here. I’m working with Adriane Powell, the Director of IWU’s Office of Alumni Engagement to start spreading the word and also build a committee to help develop some class activities during Homecoming this fall. In four months (September 30-October 2) the festivities will be in full swing! It’s been 10 years, so why not head back to Bloomington, check out campus and see all the changes since we graduated? Campus is looking beautiful these days and the fact that you can no longer drive down Beecher Street between Magill Hall and CNS and CLA is still a little weird to me.

We know there will be a jam-packed schedule of activities throughout the weekend and the purpose of our committee is to offer a few opportunities where we can come together as a class to share memories and catch up with each other.

If you’re interested in helping us put some plans together please email me at kelly.goodpaster@gmail.com so we can get some things going. We need support from classmates both local to Bloomington-Normal and outside the area. Even if you’re not sure you’ll be at Homecoming, we can still use your skills ahead of time!

Please spread the word, and I hope to see many of you back at IWU September 30 – October 2 for the 2016 IWU Homecoming activities!

THANK YOU to all of our fiscal year 2015 donors! Illinois Wesleyan University‘s alumni participation rate has increased for the third year in a row thanks to the generosity of donors like you! Your support helps to ensure IWU is stronger and more affordable for current and future generations of Titans. You’ve done well, and you’ve done good! Go Titans!

The class of 2006 exceeded the 24% challenge!  At least eight young alumni challenges were met in 2015, resulting in $20,000 of additional scholarship support for IWU students!

Young Alumni Challenge:  If our class reaches 30% participation, two gifts of $2,500 (for a total of $5,000) will be made in honor of our class. Let’s move the Tommymometer to the top!

Without alumni support, IWU simply wouldn’t be the same.  Time is running out to make a difference this fiscal year.  Help to keep IWU moving forward and show your Titan Pride by making a gift before this Friday, July 31!

ALL IN FOR WESLEYAN

Today is All in for Wesleyan 2015!  All gifts made today will be matched by an anonymous donor (up to $75,000).

And this year, there’s a twist.  Let me explain.

Gifts to the Wesleyan Fund support student financial assistance and also the little, but essential, things that create the Illinois Wesleyan experience.  So today we’re celebrating these little essentials — the unsung heroes.  Make a gift today and your name could appear next to one of these items for a limited time.*

Give today and your name could be selected to grace the hot spot, the WESN microphone, and other pieces of campus that will be announced throughout the day. (Learn more)

Give today and your gift will be matched by an anonymous donor.

Give today and show that you’re proud to be a Titan!

An update from Catherine Krahe ’06:
As of December 2014, I am a Senior Fiction Editor at the online magazine Strange Horizons (http://www.strangehorizons.com/).  I have been staff at the magazine since 2011.  Strange Horizons is in its fifteenth year of publishing science fiction, fantasy, and horror that pushes the boundaries of the genres.  We pride ourselves on welcoming new writers from an array of backgrounds, and I couldn’t be happier to work with my fellow editors and staff.
