Jordan ’12 and Carolyn (Leonard) Zimmer ’11
Hello,
Jordan Zimmer (Class of ’12) and I got married in August of 2012. Since we have gotten our pictures back, we have had many requests that we send in the classic “IWU picture” that was taken for the magazine. We had over 60 IWU alumni/students in attendance from Class of 1985 to the Class of 2013.

Hello. I would like to submit a photo of my IWU friends and me at my wedding for the IWU Magazine. All ten of us lived on the same floor freshman year, Munsell 7, and we’ve been best friends ever since! Our wedding photographer was also an IWU alum, Lauren Kier. We all graduated in 2012 (except Kelly Cook, who graduated in 2011) and the wedding was June 16th 2012.
The names of the girls in the photo are (from left to right) Marissa Hoover, Liz Towery, Laura Gaffey, Meara Dibadj, Mary (Edwards) Nowak (bride), Kathryn Rehor, Kelly Cook, Emily Gumm, and Kathy Woods.
