Calling all Titans to Fill up the Tommymometer! |
|
Thanks to our loyal donors, Illinois Wesleyan has increased the percentage of alumni donors for three straight years. In order to continue improving, we need your support year after year.
Why is alumni giving participation so important? Alumni giving indicates alumni satisfaction – as measured for college rankings, bond rating agencies and private foundation support – and sends a message to the world about the quality of an Illinois Wesleyan degree.
More than 5,000 alumni have made a gift to Illinois Wesleyan each of the last three years. In order to top 5,000 donors this year, IWU needs 1,000 more alumni donors before July 31. Help fill up the Tommymometer and keep Illinois Wesleyan University strong! | |
