Affinity Groups and Committees

The Alumni Association and Office of Alumni Engagement strives to support meaningful ways for alumni to connect with one another, current students, and the Illinois Wesleyan community. Our Affinity Groups create opportunities for Titans to stay involved, build relationships, and strengthen their lifelong connection to Illinois Wesleyan!

Each Affinity Group has their own mission and purpose, and all Chairs report to the Alumni Association Board of Directors. View the links below to learn more about each Affinity Group!

• Alumni of Color Collective
  The Alumni of Color Collective (ACC) provides meaningful opportunities for all alumni to engage with the Illinois Wesleyan community through social, educational, and service oriented activities in support of historically underrepresented alumni and students. Our goal is to support community and belonging among the Illinois Wesleyan University community.
  
  
• International Alumni Network
  Illinois Wesleyan University is proud to recognize our international alumni community via the International Alumni Network (IAN). This community spans many different regions, countries, and cultures. No matter where our alumni live, it is our hope that friendships and memories created at IWU last a lifetime.
  
  
• Council for IWU Women
  The Council for IWU Women (CFW) give time, talent, and resources to support the personal and professional development of all Titans invested in women's efforts at Illinois Wesleyan. The Council exists to promote democratic citizenship in a global society while working to support the intellectual and personal growth of students by offering guidance and role models to the extended University community.
  
  
• Pride Alumni Community
  The Pride Alumni Community (PAC) welcomes all members of the Illinois Wesleyan University community to join us: alumni, students, faculty, staff, family, and friends of the University. Our mission is to connect members of the LGBTQIA2S+ community, friends, and allies to our Alma Mater.
  
  
• Young Alumni Council
  The Young Alumni Council (YAC) is composed of graduates from the last ten years, working together to enrich the lives of current students and recent graduates through programming, social and professional networking, volunteering, and philanthropy.
