Full list of ILLINI MOMS sponsored events!

"Moms make it happen!"

The Illini Moms Association was created in 1923 for "the purpose of promoting the welfare and interest of the University and its students through services and open communications on campus and throughout the state." We are the oldest Moms Association known in the United States, having celebrated our centennial anniversary in 2023. Our board is comprised of a dedicated group of moms who are here to support the university students and their families.

We organize events, programs, and projects to benefit Illinois students. Examples include Illini Moms Weekend events, food insecurity, and fundraising for student scholarships and for an enduring gift on university grounds for students to enjoy. We work closely with the Student Affairs NSFE program as well as the Illini Dads Association.

All Illini Moms are members simply because they have a student at UIUC. Illini Moms, you're invited to become an Illini Moms ambassador or to apply to join the Moms Association board. University supporters, please consider contributing to our scholarship fund.
