WHATEVER YOUR Passion … Find It … Pursue It … Live It!

2015–16

WHATEVER YOUR Passion …

“ They really want us to pursue our passions, and to figure it out in whatever way that is. For me, I’ve really learned about what I wanted to do by working with the community, and I was encouraged and helped in so many other ways.”Lexia Swope ’15, sociology and psychology double major

Graduate program in social work at University of Illinois

“ When I came to Illinois Wesleyan, I didn’t really know what I wanted to do. It was a place where I could challenge myself and do things other than what I knew,

which is the hallmark of a liberal arts education. Attending Wesleyan is a phenomenal experience,

and I want students, now and in the future, to have the same experience I had.”

Sundeep Mullangi ’97 (right), accounting and economics double major

Managing Director, PPM America Investment Management

“ I’m most inspired by the dedicated faculty that encourages students to reach

their full potential. I would not have made the most out of my four years had it not been for them….”

Amanda King ’15, environmental studies major

Peace Corps Environmental Action Volunteer — Benin, Africa

r e a s o n # 1 | a one-of-a-kind academic program

We offer 80 majors and programs and four professional schools. What sets this academic program apart from other top liberal arts colleges is our

combination of the liberal arts and sciences with nationally known professional schools

of art, music, theatre and nursing, an exceptional business program and eight highly

respected pre-professional programs.

Every major and professional school is grounded in the liberal arts and sciences, which recent research confirms provide the kind of education

top employers look for in college graduates, because it prepares them for long-term

success in a rapidly changing world.

As an exclusively undergraduate university, our students have

close working relationships with faculty who inspire, challenge, and encourage

them to realize their passions and achieve their goals in school and in life.

“ My professors taught me to be a strategic, imaginative thinker. Wesleyan definitely taught me how to build relationships and respect others, how to

engage one another, how to engage the world and how to care about one another.”

Chad Maxwell ’02, anthropology major

Senior Vice President of the Integrated Insights,

Human Experience and Intelligence Group, Starcom USA

“ Success in our organization is dependent on one’s ability to build relationships

and communicate effectively, and the liberal arts education at Illinois Wesleyan builds these skills.”

“ My internship allowed me, as a student, to be a part of Illinois Wesleyan’s

website redesign. I learned what it takes to transform a mockup into a working site. From the

people I had the privilege of working with to the real-world knowledge I gained, that was a

life-altering experience, and one that led to being hired as the University’s web designer.”

Experiential learning is another hallmark of an Illinois Welseyan education.

Students conduct research or other creative activity, engage in internships, take part in

community service and study abroad in more than 70 countries.

4 Uniquely Illinois Wesleyan Programs

1. Study Abroad Tuition ProgramOur study abroad tuition policy allows you to apply your IWU

tuition and scholarship and need-based assistance towards

the cost of studying abroad for a semester. This means

virtually any student who attends Illinois Wesleyan can afford

to study abroad. This opportunity is something we encourage

students to experience while at Illinois Wesleyan. Forty-nine

percent of our students study abroad, compared to 14 percent

nationally.

2. Eckley Summer Scholars and Artists ProgramUndergraduate research is a hallmark of Illinois Wesleyan

and the Eckley program is just one of many sponsored

programs taking place during the school year and summer.

As an exclusively undergraduate university our students have

greater access to research opportunities, because they do not

compete with graduate students.

3. Action Research Center The Action Research Center is a unique experiential- learning

center that matches students with a wide array of community,

governmental and corporate organizations where students

work independently and side-by-side with professionals to

conduct research, develop new initiatives, create strategic

plans and more.

4. May TermThis unique month-long experiential-learning session

allows students to focus on a single special-topic

course not offered during the regular terms, take

a travel-study course or pursue research options,

internships, or creative activity. May Term is designed

to stretch traditional boundaries between in-class

and out-of-class learning.

12 |

May Term provides opportunities for immersion in learning,

where students can study contemporary and often controversial issues;

travel to historical, commercial, or cultural sites in conjunction with a

course; or attend lectures, concerts, or theatrical events related to a

May Term theme.

The Action Research Center is dedicated to the relentless

pursuit of innovative ideas that transform communities. For ten years,

ARC has connected the campus and the community in meaningful ways

that create impactful change and address pressing social justice issues.

If you have an idea, a challenge, an opportunity, or a road block —

ARC is a place to explore solutions and action plans.

the Midwest: Urban Studies, Chicago Arts and Chicago Business

“ I was able to meet and talk with (Financial Times’ chief economics commentator) Martin Wolf, widely considered to be one of the world’s most

influential writers on economics. Being able to casually talk with someone so well-known and

influential is a memory I will never forget.”

Michael Hennel ’16, economics major, on his study abroad experience at Pembroke College,

Oxford University

“ Fourteen years ago my family and I moved to America from Sofia, Bulgaria, with not a word of English nor a stable income. Not only am

I privileged to be attending Illinois Wesleyan University, but I am more than grateful

for the opportunities that will come after. My zeal to pursue Russian area studies can

only be fulfilled with the aid of the Gilman Scholarship.

Seventy percent of recent graduates had at least one internship and half

of those had two or more. Internship opportunities take part

at major corporations, local companies, community organizations and

across the globe.

Each year two-thirds of students take part in some form of creative or research activity at Illinois Wesleyan. These activities enhance

the undergraduate experience and provide an advantage whether

students plan to go on to graduate school or begin their career.

“ Because I worked for a Scottish Minister, I literally had a desk only a few feet away from the First Minister of Scotland (the head of the Scottish government). I was able to hear stories from people who were

members of the Scottish National Party since the 1970s, when they were a tiny

minority party and independence seemed like a far-off dream.”
