TAG Day 2020

Thank-A-Giver Day (TAG Day) is Monday, February 10. This day provides the IWU campus community with the opportunity to thank donors who support Illinois Wesleyan. IWU celebrates each year in mid-February because it marks the symbolic point during the academic year – about 70% of the way through – when we rely on support from alumni and friends, our endowment, and external grants.  

If you would like to be celebrated as a donor today, you can make a gift at iwu.edu/give

Back to School! Sean visits Prof Hoyt’s Marketing 339

Thank you to Sean Dwyer for speaking to Fred Hoyt’s Marketing 339 class in November about experience in sales!

Sean shared his experience: “Ultimately I was down there to talk about my journey from being in their seats at IWU to transitioning to a career in people interaction. I discussed that their ability to blend a strong work ethic with the empathy and passion for people would transition anywhere, at any company in a sales position. I really stressed visualizing what makes them happy and surrounding themselves with like-minded people. Not just in their career pursuits, but in life.”

Great job influencing fellow Titans, Sean!
