Back to Class for a Day

In the University’s tradition of open and intelligent dialogue, UIS is offering three 45-minute mini-classes followed by a “stellar” luncheon presentation. Each session will be led by a subject matter expert, with campus tour options to cap off the 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.
