Jazz Brunch 2025
Join the Neal-Marshall Alumni Club for a joyous celebration of Black and African American culture and community at the 18th annual Jazz Brunch. This event sells out every year, so be sure to purchase your tickets by registering now!
Jazz Brunch brings IU alumni and community influencers together. It’s an opportunity to connect and network—to see and be seen. Enjoy live music and an island-inspired menu, plus a presentation of the Rising Star and Alumni Achievement awards.
We will raise our glasses in a champagne toast, and a cash bar will be available during the event. The first 50 registrants will receive a complimentary drink voucher.
Details such as parking will be provided to attendees closer to the date of the event. We look forward to seeing how you show up and show out for Jazz Brunch 2025!
