Affinity Groups and Committees

The Office of Alumni Engagement strives to create numerous ways for alumni to engage with one another, students, and the University to ensure your experience is meaningful. In efforts to do just that, we have various Affinity Groups and Committees that enable opportunities to remain connected with IWU and fellow alumni. 

Each Affinity Group and Committee has their own mission and purpose. Leadership from each group and committee reports to the Alumni Association Board of Directors. View the links below to learn more about each group.
