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.

Treasurer

As a mom and educator, I really 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 love having the opportunity to support students and their families as they navigate the college experience. I’m also excited to connect with other moms and give back to the Illini community.

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.

Mandy Robbins*

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.
