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 2014 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 2014!
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!
Young Alumni Challenge
2015 Participation Goal: 5,286 Donors
Only 7 more donors are needed to reach 24% giving for our class by July 31.
Every Gift Counts!
2015 Participation Goal: 5,286 Donors
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%.

Abby Lyons is a recent graduate from the music school and she is currently attending CalArts. This year, her song, “Send Me Off To Sea,” was selected out of 120 entries to be recorded for the CalArts Jazz CD 2015 at Capitol Records. She had the privilege to record with four other CalArts musicians in Studio A, where artists such as The Beatles, The Beach Boys, and Foo Fighters have recorded! Amazingly enough, John Mayer was down the hall recording in Studio B right before their recording session. The final recording of the song can be heard here: https://soundcloud.com/abby-lyons/09-send-me-off-to-sea. And here is the link to the complete CalArts Jazz CD 2015: http://jazzarchive.calarts.edu/album/2015. Capitol Records generously records the entire album (12 groups) every year entirely free for CalArts. The entire history of the Jazz CD can be found here:http://jazzarchive.calarts.edu/history.
