The recordings in this series feature IWU alumni, friends, supporters, faculty and staff who are leaders in their field, faculty with insight on their research, and staff with updates on their respective areas.

The Titan Talks: Webinar Series was launched during the 2020 global COVID19 pandemic; it is a lifelong learning and engagement opportunity for the Illinois Wesleyan Community about alumni speaking on their post-Illinois Wesleyan University experiences.

Other recordings in this series were created during alumni visits to campus as part of both departmental and/or Career Center events.
