Homecoming 2015 – #TGOE (Titan Green Over Everything)

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!

Simmone Francis and her family have been featured in an article in Ebony magazine, whose title reads:

MAN OF THE YEAR:
The Everyday Hero You Won’t See on TV

Paying tribute to a son, husband and father who deserves his flowers while he can still smell them.

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!

Only 16 more donors are needed to reach 24% giving for our Class by July 31.

Every Gift Counts!

Give to the Wesleyan Fund

Young alumni challenge:

• A trustee has agreed to make a $2,500 gift for every young alumni class(1999-2014) who reaches 24% or better before July 31.
• This means that for every class that hits 24%, IWU will be able to award an additional $2,500 scholarship to a deserving student.
• Also, an additional $2,500 gift will be made for any class that reaches 30%.
• All gifts count! Find out how your class stacks up by visiting https://www.iwu.edu/giving/youngalumni.html

Evan Kasprzak ’10 gave a behind-the-scenes look at his time on Fox TV’s “So You Think You Can Dance,” before he went on to star in “Newsies” on Broadway. You can read the article here.

Congratulations on your success, Evan!

A note from Ross Fraser ’78:

I am a graduate of IWU (’78) and in my 11th year working as the director of media relations for Feeding America, the nation’s largest hunger relief organization.  

We are the network of most of the food banks in the country. We distribute food to about 60,000 soup kitchens and food pantries across the nation.

We feed more than 5 million people each week and will distribute more than 4 billion pounds of food this year.

Forbes Magazine rates us as the 3rd largest charity in the U.S.

But I am not the only IWU graduate here. Sam Harris (2010) works with the food industry to help us get donations of food, and Tim Sunzeris (2011) is a senior budget analyst in our philanthropy department.

Please join me in congratulating Sam in supporting Ross and the Feeding America organization.
