Monday, Feb. 10
 CNS & State Farm Hall from 9 a.m. - 3 p.m. and Dugout from 11 a.m. -1 p.m. – Thank-A-Giver Day (TAG Day) – TAG Day provides our campus community with the opportunity to thank donors who support Illinois Wesleyan. We celebrate each year in mid-February because it marks the symbolic point during the academic year – about 70% of the way through – when tuition dollars run out and we rely on support from alumni and friends, our endowment, and external grants.
Please make time to stop by one of the TAG Day tables to write a note to one or more donors who help make an IWU experience possible. Also, please share your gratitude on social media using #IWUThanks.
