A Message from the President
Town and Gown began in 1965. We support students and programs at the world-renowned University of California, Irvine (UCI).
Town and Gown is a great place to meet new people; experience fun, exciting events; share in intellectual learning experiences and make new friends.
Over the years our members have generously donated more than a million dollars to UCI. And our scholarships are unique. They are for UCI-qualified students who have had a break of five years or more in their education - due to a personal life challenge or military service - and also have a plan to use their education to give back to the community. No other scholarships for returning students are known; we fill a real need. Our goal is to offer five $5,000 scholarships each year.
You won’t want to miss our September Coffee when we host a complimentary morning at Sherman Library and Gardens in Corona del Mar for our members and their guests. We meet the year’s new scholarship recipients, tour the beautiful gardens and check out our wide range of Interest Groups.
We also host three luncheons a year with guest speakers from both the University and the Community – everything from the newest research in brain and health treatments, the Arts and UCI’s archival library to historical and cultural cuisine or amazing sleight-of-hand magic.
Membership and participation in UCI Town and Gown makes our scholarships possible. It is a great way to have fun while we help deserving students. It is my profound privilege to serve as President this term.
