Homecoming 2015 – #TGOE (Titan Green Over Everything)

Thank You 2015 Donors!

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 2011 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!

Let’s Reach 24% Giving for the Class of 2011!

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!
