What is The English Club?
We are a group of students with the goal to build a better community within the English Department here at UIC. We strive to provide social connections, events & activities, and networking opportunities—not to mention lots of snacks!
I’m interested in joining. How can I do that?
The only thing you need to do to be a member of the English Club is to show up! All are welcome to join, you don’t have to be an English major or minor.
Does The English Club have a meeting place?
We meet every first Monday of the month from 4:30-6PM. If you’ve got the time, you’re more than welcome to stop by University Hall in Room 1850—even if it is just to drop by and say hello!
Upcoming Meetings

Open Mic Night
Twice a semester, the English Club hosts an Open Mic Night at the Daley Library. Drop by Room 1-470 anytime from 5-7PM to hear the works of others (or even share your own!). All creative works are welcome—poems, songs, short stories—and no registration is required. The only thing you have to bring is an open mind (though an appetite for free pizza is also recommended!).
Upcoming Open Mic Meeting Times
Monday, April 14, 2025
Daley Library 1-470 | 5:00 – 7:00 p.m.
Join the English Club as we hold space for the creativity our students have to offer!
Book Club
The English Club is currently workshopping a Book Club. While nothing is scheduled at the moment, we encourage you to share your opinions at English Club meetings so we can gauge interest (it might help to know that The English Club will cover the cost of books for attendees). In the meantime, stay tuned for more info by joining our GroupMe or following our Instagram at the links below!
