Since 1923, the Moms Association has been promoting the welfare and interests of the University and its students through services and open communications on campus and throughout the state including a robost scholarship program.
President
Renee Czeryba
I'm honored to lead the Illini Moms Association as this year's President. After a year as Vice President, and watching my son grow into a University of Illinois junior, I have seen firsthand what this community makes possible for students and moms alike. My focus is simple: connection, community, and impact for every mom, and mom-figure, in the Illini family.
Past President
Kelley Kalinich
Being a part of the Moms Association has given me the opportunity to not only feel a part of the University, but also to learn more about the richness of experiences offered to students and their families.
Vice President
Marisa Mann*
As an Illini Alumna & Mom, I am honored to serve as Vice President of Illini Moms to work to strengthen the connection between families and University creating memorable experiences and support our students success.
Treasurer
Amena Saleem*
As a mom and educator, I enjoy being part of the Illini Moms Association and supporting the diverse UIUC student community. Being a mom is such an important part of who I am, and I would like to support both students and their families as they navigate their college experience.
Secretary
Valeria Trivellone
I’ve felt a part of UIUC since 2015, and am much more connected since being a member of the Ill Moms. It feels like home!

I am excited be involved in Illini Moms, not only for philanthropic reasons, but also to enhance my connection to UIUC as a proud graduate and parent. Illini Moms allows me to connect with other moms and enhances my sense of personal development and purpose through this “empty nest” stage of life.
