Ah, mount pleasant - home of Iowa Wesleyan University, a castle of knowledge, a palace of learning, with a rich and timeless history.

Iowa Wesleyan is one of the oldest college campuses in the United States. Founded in 1842, its original campus is linked to Wesleyan Way on the bluffs of Mount Pleasant, a public street running through the north side of town.

Throughout history, Iowa Wesleyan has continually opened its doors to all students, offering a variety of specialties to accommodate each and every student's educational goal. From business to health professions to teacher education, the liberal arts and sciences are emphasized as an integral part of each student's educational experience.

My husband knows all too well the power of this hallowed University. He graduated from Iowa Wesleyan in 1984, where he earned his Bachelor's in Business Administration. He went on to a very successful career in investment banking and financial management, but his first education was formed into those walls of Iowa Wesleyan.

The students who walk through Iowa Wesleyan's doors become a part of the legacy. Established leaders in business and industry - in the state of Iowa and beyond - graduate from the University each year. As an alumna myself, I treasure the connections I hold with other graduates and am honored whenever someone mentions that they are an Iowa Wesleyan Tiger alumnus.

The campus itself is like a secret garden, tucked away along the bluffs of Mount Pleasant. A beautiful selection of architectural styles combine to form the serene atmosphere that provides an environment conducive to learning. To the south, it features the Victorian-style Old Main building, an iconic example of 19th century Gothic Revival architecture. To the north one finds townhouses for student living that overlook Wesleyan Way and beyond.

Throughout its nearly two centuries in existence, Iowa Wesleyan has seen many changes but still stands strong as it offers a quality education to students from all over the world. Whether you are searching for a career change or advancing your existing knowledge base, you can undoubtedly find your success within these ivy-covered walls - just as it has done for my husband and countless others over years gone by.

Take action today and be part of history: enroll in Iowa Wesleyan University and become an integral part of this illustrious college!
