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. These opportunities assist young alumni in their transition from a collegian at Illinois Wesleyan and lay the foundation for a relationship with their alma mater that lasts a lifetime.
