Get Involved at IWU!
Laura (Curtis) Kraynak ’07
"I had such a wonderful experience at IWU, and I want to help provide that for current
students. In addition, I met some of the most influential people in my life through
IWU - both as a student and then later as an alum, so I value the relationships I
have through IWU and want to continue enjoying those!"
Laura is a member-at-large on the IWU Alumni Association Board of Directors.
Debra R. Burt-Frazier ’75
"Remember your IWU days, and the impact that it had on you. Then pledge to support
that continuation of a quality education for other students. Support Illinois Wesleyan
– Go Titans!"
Debra is a member-at-large on the IWU Alumni Association Board of Directors.
Mike Kraft ’13
"The people are what make Illinois Wesleyan such a special place, and that's why I stay
involved. It's a great opportunity to not only reconnect with old friends but also
to meet incredible alumni from different generations. I truly enjoy learning about
others' paths, and I find it incredibly rewarding to connect alumni who can help each
other out."
Mike is the Regional Co-Chair for the Chicago Regional Alumni Chapter.
Marina (Johnson) Moore ’17
"The path that you’re traveling on has been paved with many kindnesses along the way.
As often as you’re able to, return that kindness to others. Be it a smile, a kind
word, or a donation, it is good to give back as often as you’re able to."
Marina is a member-at-large on the Young Alumni Council.
Raven Hughes ’21
"I wish I did more during my time at IWU and I feel like my involvement was cut short
due to COVID. It's a blessing to have this opportunity because I am able to share
my love for IWU and help the current students connect and engage through different
opportunities."
Raven is a member-at-large on the Young Alumni Council.
Daniel Truesdale ’15
"It’s never too late to get involved! No matter where you are in your life or career,
your time and talents are valuable. Every alumnus brings a unique perspective, and
all levels of involvement are welcomed and appreciated. Whether you attend events,
mentor students, or simply reconnect, your contribution makes a difference—so join
us when and how you can!"
Daniel is the Regional Co-Chair for the Chicago Regional Alumni Chapter.
