A Message from our President
Rose Meyer, President 2025-2026
The year 2025-2026 is in full swing!
Our Fall Fair Open House on September 9, drew a record 435 attendees -100 more than last year- with 63 new members joining and 158 event tickets sold. We also distributed 378 yearbooks.
Our next big event was the Scholarship Appreciation held at the Levitt Center on October 8th. Since partnering with the University of Iowa Center for Advancement in 1982, University Club Members have donated $204,872, and awarded $104,939 in scholarships to 62 recipients.
Our October Luncheon was well attended by 150 members, to hear Dr. Jann Freed speak on “The Rest Of Life Is the Best of Life.”
I had the opportunity to speak to the Connections Interest group and the Newcomers' group about the University Club. Board members in attendance were introduced, and the agenda included an overview of successful events, plans for future events and finances. The QA period offered an opportunity to answer questions and a forum for lively discussion.
True to our mission of “promoting social interaction among women who are interested in the University of Iowa”, we are expanding our interest groups to accommodate our 788 dues paying members.
I am excited to learn more about everyone's interests and experiences as I attend the upcoming monthly luncheons and interest group meetings.
There are more opportunities for our members to mingle!
Please see the Clarion for more information on our upcoming events and mark your calendars!
