IWU Regional Alumni Chapters exist all over the US to help you stay connected with alumni in your area. We rely on volunteers in these areas to help us plan alumni events, organize activities within the local communities, and partner with the Office of Alumni Engagement for other volunteer needs.
2. Assist Current and Prospective Students
Titan Alumni Ambassadors assist in the efforts led by the Admissions team to recruit the best and brightest students to become part of the Titan family. Being a Titan Alumni Ambassador involves communicating with prospective students to answer questions, share your experience of IWU, congratulate them on being admitted, and offer support and encouragement in their first year at IWU.
