Meetings

Join us at Millikin University for our luncheon on Wednesday, March 11, 2026.  It will be on Millikin’s campus in Banquet Room 1 of the University Commons, which is located on the third floor of the former Staley Library, next to Schilling Hall. (More directions at the end of this article.)

Now eight months into his presidency, Dr. Dean Pribbenow will share the framework he used to introduce his leadership and how that has informed priorities and actions for Millikin University. In addition, he will share how Millikin University is navigating today’s higher education landscape with a focus on both tradition and transformation. Attendees will also hear from Alumni & Development’s Alyse Knust with details about the Presidential Inauguration Ceremony and Millikin’s 125th Anniversary Celebration.  

Enjoy our speakers and a great lunch. Registration starts at 11:30 a.m.; the luncheon, catered by Millikin Catering, starts at 11:45 a.m. The luncheon program begins at 12 noon and ends at 1 p.m. The luncheon cost is $15.

If you have any information fliers you want to put on the luncheon tables before the luncheon begins, then be sure to pick up any remaining fliers at the end of the luncheon.
