Can you believe it’s been 10 years since we graduated from IWU? I invite you back to campus this October 5-7th for Reunion Weekend where we will celebrate the class of 2008. Join us for special 10-year reunion activities on Friday afternoon, a special reunion tailgate on Saturday and our reunion celebration on Saturday evening.

As part of our 10th reunion, I’m also encouraging everyone togive back to the University that gave so much to each of us. I hope you will join me in giving a gift to IWU in honor of our reunion. To make a gift, simply click here.
