Founded in 2024, the IWU Parent Council is comprised of parents and grandparents of both current and former students, working with SGA to raise money for projects, assist communication, volunteer for events, and turn ideas into reality.
The establishment of the IWU Parent Council reflects the university’s ongoing commitment to a close-knit and long-lasting community wherein even the grandparents of alumni can play a role in influencing the future of the university.

Hello, we are Jeff and Kay Alter and we are passionate about God, our family, and IWU athletics. We are a 3 generation IWU family. Kay's parents, Marvin & Hazel Hinds graduated in 1950 & 1949. We are proud members of the Class of 1982 and our children, Jeffrey Alter and Christi Horn graduated in 2010 and 2012. (Now we are working on our grandchildren). We love this place because of the commitment to the mission to change the world by developing students in character, scholarship, and leadership.

Hello, I am Lisa Huber and I am passionate about ministry, animals, and serving others through dog therapy. My husband and I are both alumni of IWU as well as our two daughters. I love this place because of the students and how the community surrounds them with care and they learn to support each other. I am serving on the inaugural IWU Parent Council and I am here to help.
Hello, we are Beau and Nicole Hummel and we are passionate about ministry and preserving marriage. Two of our four children, Reagan and Kennedy, are currently attending IWU and are each majoring in Elementary Education. We are both alumni of IWU (’00) and love this place because it deeply shaped our hearts for the Lord, developed in us a shared passion to serve God and His people, and is already doing some of the same for our girls. We are serving on the inaugural IWU Parent Council and are here to help.
