Let’s Reach 24% Giving for the Class of 2008!

Young Alumni Challenge:  If our class reaches 24% participation, an additional gift of $2,500 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!
