Alumni lunch fosters collaboration, connection, and college updates 

On July 30, 2025, Grant Thornton welcomed UIC alumni, faculty, and staff for a Corporate Alumni Lunch, part of an ongoing series designed to foster professional connections and share updates from the university and the College of Business Administration.

Attendees had the opportunity to reconnect over lunch and hear the latest developments from the college, including insights from Dr. Melissa Martin, Interim Department Head of Accounting. We’re grateful to Maria Manases and Brittany Kmieciak for their efforts in organizing the event. Special thanks also to Professor Michael Mikhail and Rita Bieliauskas for participating.

These gatherings continue to strengthen the bond between UIC and its corporate partners, building a vibrant network of alumni and academic leaders.
