“IWU has been a significant part in how many of us got our start or we have been impacted in some way by the ministry of IWU,” said Jennifer Fox, director of annual giving. “Giving to IWU provides alumni, friends and family the opportunity ensure the influence of IWU continues by lighting the way for future students through the support of university needs. On Give Day, a large group of people come together, and no matter the size of their individual gifts, the cumulative results make an impact on the lives of our students and eventually the world.”
