The Illinois Club is one of the oldest university social clubs serving the University and Champaign-Urbana community. The purpose of our Club is to promote friendship and education, this purpose is achieved through interest groups, campus tours, University of Illinois scholarship awards, and special events.

A Note from the President...

Over more than 100 years, much has changed in The Illinois Club and in the world, but much remains the same. Club members are women and men who live in the Champaign-Urbana community, which is home to the University of Illinois. We focus on social connections, featuring many interest groups. We are proud to help undergraduate students through our scholarship program. Please look at the monthly calendar on this page, and learn about our activities.

All the best,

Kathy
