19th Annual Jazz Brunch

Join the Neal-Marshall Alumni Club for Indianapolis’ Summer Social—where Indy’s finest gather—at Jazz Brunch 2026: Diamond of the Season. This celebrated annual affair offers an afternoon steeped in Regency-inspired garden elegance, cultural refinement, enduring legacy, and the spirit of modern Black excellence.

Hosted within the chic atmosphere of VisionLoft, guests will enjoy an elevated brunch experience complemented by one complimentary alcoholic or non-alcoholic beverage, all set to the vibrant sounds of live jazz from Indianapolis’ own “Musical Mayor,” Rob Dixon, and The Rob Dixon Quartet.

At the heart of the celebration is the “Diamond of the Season” Spotlight, recognizing recipients of the Rising Star Award and Alumni Achievement Award—distinguished honorees whose talent, leadership, and lasting contributions continue to shape and inspire the Indiana University community.
