About UI Alumni North America (UIANA)
Welcome to the digital home of the University of Ibadan Alumni, North America. We are a vibrant community of graduates, former students, and faculty members residing across the United States and Canada who share a common bond: our roots at Nigeria’s premier university.
The “Greatest UI” experience doesn’t end at graduation; it evolves. Whether you walked the hallowed halls of Mellanby, Queen Idia, or Tedder, you carry a legacy of excellence that we aim to preserve and project within the North American diaspora.
Our Core Mission
UIANA was established with a clear, three-fold purpose:
- Giving Back to Our Alma Mater: We are committed to supporting the University of Ibadan in its quest to remain a world-class institution. Through targeted fundraising, infrastructure projects, and departmental support, we ensure that current and future students have the resources they need to thrive.
- Professional Networking: Our membership spans virtually every industry—from medicine and engineering to the arts and tech. We leverage this collective brilliance to mentor younger alumni, share career opportunities, and foster professional collaborations that elevate our community.
- Social Connection: Beyond the boardroom and the classroom, we are a family. We create spaces for alumni to reconnect, celebrate our shared culture, and build lasting friendships through regional chapters and national reunions.

Being part of UIANA is about more than just nostalgia; it’s about impact and growth. By joining our ranks, you gain access to:

Our Vision for the Future
