UIC Alumni Author Series
The UIC Alumni Author Series was reinstated in fall 2009.
Alumni, students, faculty, staff and community members are welcome to attend
these free talks by alumni authors. There is a reception and an opportunity for
the featured author to sell and sign books after each presentation.
The Alumni Author Series is sponsored by the UIAA and the UIC Library. The goals
of the series are to feature the works of UIC alumni, to offer a forum for the
University community to discuss topics of interest and to celebrate reading,
books and libraries.
We are open to suggestions on what books to highlight and will consider nonfiction
and fiction, as well as poetry, plays, graphic novels and more.
For more information or to be considered as a presenter, please call 312/996-8535
or e-mail Jenna Blick at jblick@uic.edu.
