Young Alumni Council
Welcome! 
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.

The Wesleyan Fund is an annual giving program that provides flexible, unrestricted support for IWU's most immediate needs. It helps fund scholarships, academic programs, faculty initiatives, and campus resources that directly enhance the Titan experience. A gift to the Wesleyan Fund is the most important dollar on campus.
