IWU celebrates December Commencement
Indiana Wesleyan University will graduate 1,792 people on Saturday, Dec. 19 during two ceremonies in the Chapel Auditorium on the Marion residential campus.
A ceremony at 10:00 a.m. will include all non-residential undergraduate degrees, except Bachelor of Science in Nursing. A ceremony at 2:00 p.m. will include all residential undergraduate degrees, Bachelor of Science in Nursing degrees and all graduate-level degrees.
The commencement speaker will be Brian Harlow, a 1997 IWU alum and the vice president for Manufacturing of Fiat Chrysler Automotive (FCA) North America. He first joined the former Chrysler Corporation in 1978 as a plant engineer at the Kokomo Transmission Plant, and has since held various manufacturing positions of increasing responsibility. Harlow earned a bachelor’s degree in Civil Engineering from Purdue University and a master’s degree in Management from IWU.
Graduating on Saturday will be the first students awarded the Master of Public Administration degree. The 36-hour program, which emphasizes social responsibility and civic engagement, equips students to effectively and compassionately address current governmental challenges.
Tickets are not required for either the 10:00 a.m. or the 2:00 p.m. ceremony.
IWU's next commencement ceremonies are scheduled for April 30, 2016.
