NURSING

“The IWU School of Nursing has impacted me significantly. The faculty and staff are always available and are happy to help when it gets tough. I have learned more in my time at IWU than I ever would have thought, and I know that I am well prepared for my future career in nursing.”

B R A D L E Y S A N D E R S

CHEMISTRY AND MATH

“The Division of Natural Sciences has really given me a unique learning experience that I know I wouldn’t get at any other school. In fact, I have been given the incredible opportunity to participate in the Hodson Research Institute where I will perform laboratory research alongside one of my professors, developing necessary skills that I will use in my future career!”

B E T H A N Y G A M M O N

MUSIC THERAPY

“The Division of Music is both nurturing and challenging, and I have grown so much since coming to IWU. I’ve been able to experience so many wonderful opportunities, from opera to jazz band, and in every opportunity I’ve been able to learn from talented and caring professors.”

M E G A N B A U S E R M A N

ACCOUNTING & BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION

“The DeVoe Division of Business has impacted my educational experience by giving me a home away from home. Not only have our professors made me feel welcome in our division, but they have consistently brought challenges to the classroom that have helped me grow into a better business professional.”

This very moment in time at

Indiana Wesleyan University

is no accident. This place,

this campus, this community,

at this specific juncture

has been in the making for

nearly 100 years. We have a

heritage that we continue to

build upon one day at a time.

A heritage of fervent pursuit

of academic excellence, a

global, missional focus, and

the earnest desire to seek out

and align ourselves with the

calling God has for each one

of us can be yours.

It is no coincidence that you

are reading this right now.

This very moment could be

the start of something truly

incredible for you and for

Indiana Wesleyan University.

CHAMPIONSThe Wildcat (men’s and women’s) basketball teams claimed

back-to-back national NAIA Division II championships in 2013

and 2014. The men’s team conquered again in 2016 and

RESEARCHERSFor the eighth year in a row, students have worked alongside

IWU science faculty, advancing research in a multitude of

scientific frontiers. For more information about how you can

become a paid student researcher, check out the IWU Hodson

Research Institute at indwes.edu/practical-experience.

ADVOCATESHundreds of students are working to alleviate the global crisis

of modern slavery. DOULOS, an IWU student organization,

fights human trafficking. Its members have hearts for those

who are hurting around the world and have raised thousands of

dollars in support of the national nonprofit coalition known as

the End It Movement.

Before going into higher

education, Dr. Jack Brady,

Assistant Professor of

Criminal Justice, served

as a police officer in Texas.

After September 11, he

counseled police, fire, and

EMS workers at Ground

Zero on several occasions.

As a professor, Brady

seeks to model Christ and

develop young people

into becoming Christian

leaders in the criminal

justice system. “The one

thing I hope students will

walk away with is that

their personal relationship

with Christ is the most

important thing they can

ever do, and only through

Him can we become the

leaders we need to be,”

said Brady.

JUSTICE SEEKERD R . J A C K B R A DY

Dr. Aly Williams, Director

of Academic Advising and

Associate Professor of

Exercise Science, returned

to IWU to help students

discover their life calling

and how that calling can

be fulfilled through their

academic career. “Many

students enter college

with a major in mind or

a potential job they wish

to pursue. My hope is that

students truly take time to

examine their God-given

gifts and talents and

then discover how they

might use those talents to

glorify God.”

“The most segregated

hour of Christian America

is eleven o’clock on Sunday

morning.” Despite many

years of progress, the

church still deals with

some deep-seated racial

problems. In his book

“Christians and the Color

Line,” Dr. Rusty Hawkins

analyzes this racial

divide and looks at what

successful multiethnic

congregations have

already done. “It’s about

becoming aware of

the structures of the

society around us,”

Hawkins said.

HISTORIAND R . R U S T Y H A W K I N S

Associate Professor of

Biology Dr. Matthew

Sattley and his students

study the lives and

behavior of bacteria from

the bottom of the world.

Sattley and his team are

studying how Antarctic

lake organisms cycle

nutrients. “Even though

these lakes are right

around the freezing point

of water, the organisms

tend to grow better if

you warm them,” Sattley

said. He’s not really sure

what that means yet; the

bacteria may have come

from somewhere else. It’s

questions like these that

drive Sattley’s passion

for research.

Todd Williams is a

saxophonist who has

played with some of the

best jazz musicians in

the world, in venues like

Lincoln Center in New York

and even the White House.

But, he’s also a man of

faith. He took a break from

performing for a while to

work as the music director

of Times Square Church.

He came to IWU because

he felt a call to teach,

he told the IWU student

newspaper, The Sojourn.

Williams’ three passions

of teaching, faith, and

performance fit together

perfectly at IWU.

ALL INFaculty and staff are committed to enveloping you in prayer. Regular prayer

walks across campus and Chapel services bring the University community

together to worship and pray. Two prayer spaces are open morning to night

in the Williams Prayer Chapel and the Chapel Auditorium. Residence Hall

Chaplains lead opportunities for spiritual growth and ministry outreach in

each Residence Hall.

During your time on campus, you will be challenged to build academic

excellence on a foundation of scriptural truth, and encouraged to build upon

your God-given calling to become all that our Creator intended for you to be.

Biology, Physics, Chemistry, Computer Science, Math, Nursing, Occupational

Therapy and Athletic Training students share space and knowledge by learning

together in the Ott Hall of Sciences and Nursing.

“There’s a decent chance that a physical therapist would work with an athletic

trainer, or an occupational therapist would work with somebody in public health,”

said Dr. Aly Williams, associate professor of exercise science. “Any time you can

put together a program where those types of students would intermix, you’re

creating a dynamic that really doesn’t exist anywhere else.”

IWU’s nursing program, the largest within the Council for Christian Colleges and

Universities (CCCU), is nationally recognized. IWU is building on that reputation

to become one of the leading Christian schools for scientific education. You can

get in on the ground floor of our growth.

Research is a foundational component of IWU’s science programs. With expanded

facilities and resources, more students conduct scientific research on their own.

Students have hands-on experience actually doing what they’ve been learning

about in books and in classes. You might even see your name in print on a

published scientific paper before you graduate.

ARE SAYING ABOUT IWU

“Not only have acquaintances become friends and then brothers and sisters in Christ, but I have also found much of God’s formative grace through the opportunities to be involved at IWU. I have benefitted richly from professors who clearly have so much heart in their subjects. And I have witnessed one more chapter of the small story God has used to weave together His larger narrative.”

“My diploma represents more than a degree. IWU became my home away from home, new friends became family, and a major became my beloved career. I am forever grateful that my advisors and professors helped me find my true passion for Communication and encouraged me in my vision to serve the Lord with my degree.”

“My time at IWU has been life changing, from helping me grow spiritually, to helping me discover my life calling in Social Work. I was blessed in so many ways throughout my time here educationally, spiritually and personally. I could not have asked for a better college experience.”

SANTIAGO JARAMILLO Major: Business Administration/Marketing

Grad Year: 2012

Career: Entrepreneur | Indianapolis, IN

Barely a year out of college, Santiago Jaramillo

found himself joining an elite group: Inc magazine’s

list of “30 Under 30” entrepreneurs for 2013. In

college, he founded Bluebridge to create mobile

apps for small businesses and churches, making

more than $100,000 in his senior year alone. In

2016, Santiago sold Bluebridge’s church and

tourism business for $8 million. Since then, he has

shifted his focus to founding Emplify, a growing

company that provides businesses with an app

designed to increase employee engagement.

“I do what I do because I love it,” said Santiago. “I think that’s success to me, getting to do what I love every single day of my life.”

TYANNE BREWERMajor: Nursing

Grad Year: 2014

Career: Nurse | Marion, IN

Tyanne Brewer began her journey as a nurse at the

age of 17 when she enrolled in a Health Careers

course. The class was part of the GROW Nurses

program, an IWU-sponsored initiative designed

to encourage underrepresented populations

to attend college and work in the nursing field.

Tyanne graduated from the IWU School of Nursing

as a first-generation college student. She now

works as a telemetry nurse at Marion General

Hospital caring for patients in critical condition.

“I have wanted to be a nurse since I was a child and giving up has never been an option,” said Tyanne. “Being a healer, advocate and caregiver is my dream job. IWU gave me a hope for my future.”

AMY EIKENBERRYMajor: Elementary Education/Special

Grad Year: 2013

Career: Elementary Teacher | Tulsa, OK

During a teaching practicum, Amy Eikenberry

found herself moved by a boy who had been

through more in his five years of life than she

had in her 20. She had become his one piece of

consistency in a life that was anything but. That

experience led her to apply to Teach for America,

an organization that offers a two-year training

program with the purpose of providing quality

education for all students—especially in high

priority areas. Amy was placed in Tulsa, Oklahoma

where she teaches special needs education.

“I have been able to watch so many students gain confidence in themselves, believing they are something, believing they have a future.”

NAVAR WATSONMajor: Convergent Journalism

Grad Year: 2016

Career: Private English Tutor | Bilbao, Spain

Upon graduation, Navar Watson began working as a

general assignment reporter for a local newspaper.

He wrote two to three articles each day, which

included hard news stories, in-depth feature stories

and crime stories. He even won statewide awards

for his articles. After several years of working as

a journalist, Navar accepted a new position as a

private English tutor in Bilbao, Spain. Using the

skills he honed as a reporter, Navar now gives one-

on-one English lessons to children, teenagers and

adults of various English learning levels.

“IWU equipped me to succeed by helping me realize my gifts and strengths, and how to use them well,” said Navar. “It helped me develop a confidence in myself and my work I wouldn’t have had otherwise.”

fostering a global mindset

IWU has been rooted locally in Marion, Indiana, for nearly a century, but our

scope also extends nationally and globally as we seek to fulfill our mission

and global vision by fostering a global mindset among our students and

serving the global church.


SPIRITUAL LIFE

The nearly 3,800-seat Chapel

Auditorium is the center of spiritual

life, hosting chapel services three

times a week.

Dedicated space for prayer can

be found in the Williams Prayer

Chapel, the upper floor of the

Chapel Auditorium and in each

Residence Hall.

We believe that spiritual

transformation involves not only an

inward experience of God’s grace

in our lives, but also an outward

expression of love and compassion

for others.

John Wesley taught that every

Christian has an obligation to

serve the poor, destitute, sick

and imprisoned. We accept that

responsibility enthusiastically.

Don’t wait until you graduate to

start transforming the world. You

have the ability to make positive

real-world change now.

BEGINNING THE CONVERSATION

A GUIDE TO FINANCIAL AID

You’re worth the investment. A college degree increases your earning potential by 67 percent.*

So don’t let the initial price tag scare

you. Actual out-of-pocket costs for

IWU often equal or are close to public

institutions. IWU provides merit- and

need-based financial aid on top of

federal and state funds that offset

tuition. IWU’s graduation rates are

higher, which also lowers your cost

and gets you started on your career or

graduate school sooner.

IWU is the first and only CCCU school

to offer student financial discipleship

mentoring through the NEXUS

Financial Discipleship Center - a

part of the IWU Ron Blue Institute

for Financial Planning. NEXUS

peer coaches, trained in financial

goal development, budgeting,

credit, investing, managing debt,

and student loan planning and

repayments, will lead one-on-one

student coaching sessions designed

to help students make and sustain

healthy financial decisions.

THE VALUE OF A PRIVATE CHRISTIAN UNIVERSITYThe annual Council for Christian Colleges and

Universities (CCCU) tuition study confirms

that member institutions continue to offer an

excellent value in comparison to other private

four-year U.S. colleges. Not only are CCCU

colleges less expensive, annual increases in

tuition and fees are growing at a slower rate

than other private four-year colleges.

IWU’S 2017-2018 TUITION WAS:• $8,760 below the national average for all

private four-year institutions

• $1,486 below the average tuition of all

CCCU institutions

• $1,683 below the average tuition of all

Indiana CCCU member institutions
