Gabrielle Schwalm
Congratulations to Gabrielle Schwalm on being named April 2025 Student Spotlight!

Gabrielle shares:
"I chose IWU because I value the experience of a small liberal arts school. It is
a great opportunity to work closely with professors and access professional opportunities
that wouldn’t be available at larger institutions. Through IWU, I have found some
of my closest friends, and I know I will continue to value those connections and experiences
after graduation."
Dr. Suzanne Segrado-Kundler praises Gabby’s dedication:
"Gabby goes above and beyond for not only herself, but for others around her. At our
recent Double Reed Day, she took time to sit with each participant, making them feel
welcome and valued. Her kindness is beyond her years, and her enthusiasm for music
is contagious!" 



Faculty also commend Gabby’s impact:
"A non-major musician, Gabby has left an incredible mark on the School of Music. Her
leadership in ensembles, SAI, and the broader music community is inspiring. She continues
to grow as an oboist and shines in every performance!"
Join us in celebrating Gabby’s achievements and contributions!
