What was your overall UIS experience like? Did you participate in any clubs or activities while attending UIS?
Right off the bat I was participating in the UIS Orchestra Program, Psychology Club, Camerata Program, and the Honors Program. As the months went by I started to establish who I was as a musician, student, mentor, leader, and friend. I am so grateful that I had the opportunity to work closely with my professors and help develop the Camerata music program from a simple ensemble group to a close-knit team of friends and collaborators.
Back to Class for a Day

Register for classes and tours you wish to participate in. The mini-classes and campus tours are free of charge. The registration fee for the luncheon presentation is $40/person (includes hot buffet lunch).
Join us for a day of intelligent dialogue in celebration of UIS and learning!

Women's Philanthropy Luncheon
Women's Philanthropy Luncheon
National trends show that women are increasingly becoming the face of wealth, giving and legacy. Women tend to be more generous with their wealth and contribute more frequently. The desire to create a personal connection and meaningful relationships demonstrates a desire to give both time and financial resources. The annual Women's Philanthropy Luncheon is an opportunity for women philanthropists to connect and learn about opportunities to support the UIS community.
