Titan Pathways

Your own unique pathway

At Illinois Wesleyan University (IWU), you will forge your own unique pathway. IWU offers meaningful and challenging opportunities for curricular, co-curricular, and community engagement. Trusted advisors, including faculty, staff, peer students, and alumni, provide a circle of support as you advance toward personal and professional success. Our Titan Pathways program is your guide toward earning your degree, building your resume, and empowering you to tell your story with pride and confidence. 

Pathways is a flexible framework of three phases. These are your building blocks to a successful IWU experience. Each phase has check-in questions, reflective questions, and a list of suggested activities. This can be a very helpful tool during your advising sessions but it is up to you to make the most of this resource. You might work through some steps very quickly or work on some parts of each phase simultaneously as there is no “right way” to create your pathway. This guide empowers you to manage your Titan Pathways experience and is a platform for navigating the many opportunities available to you here at IWU.
