Iowa Volunteer Networks: Iowa Clubs, I-Clubs, and Alumni Communities


Whether you're across the state or across the ocean, you can meet fellow Hawkeyes through volunteer-led clubs and alumni communities.

University of Iowa alumni, fans, and friends can join an Iowa Club or I-Club to find, network, and socialize with Hawkeyes near them. Alumni communities are available for alumni and friends to connect through shared interests and experiences.

The benefits and services the University of Iowa Center for Advancement provides to our Iowa Volunteer Networks are available to all alumni and friends without regard to any category protected by the law. The UI Center for Advancement believes different perspectives, experiences, and backgrounds are critical to a dynamic and vibrant alumni community, and as such all alumni and friends are welcome and encouraged to join any Iowa Club and Alumni Community.

What is an Iowa Club?

Iowa Clubs connect Hawkeyes in more than 60 cities around the world. Wear your black and gold proudly as you cheer on the Hawkeyes during game watch parties at local bars and restaurants, attend networking and cultural events, and raise scholarship funds for Iowa students from your community.

What is an I-Club?

Local I-Club chapters form a strong Hawkeye presence within the state of Iowa and a few surrounding states. They serve as an extension of the National I-Club, which supports Hawkeye student-athletes while also raising awareness for and promoting Hawkeye Athletics. Recognized I-Club chapters are made up of Hawkeye volunteers and are organized through and supported by the National I-Club.

What are Alumni Communities?

Iowa alumni with shared connections are invited to join an alumni community. Some of these organizations are an extension of student activities, while others connect alumni with shared experiences and identities. All alumni and friends are welcome and encouraged to join any alumni community of interest, regardless of identity.
