Indiana University Bloomington (IUB) – Association of University Professors (AAUP)

AAUP & BFC Welcome Event: Music, Community, and Academic Freedom
Friday, September 5 | 4:00-7:00 PM | The Bishop

Kick off the new academic year with fellow AAUP members at our welcoming social gathering! Join us for an evening of great music, meaningful conversations, delicious food, and refreshing drinks in the warm and casual atmosphere of The Bishop.

Featured Entertainment: The talented Post-Modern Jazz Quartet (PMJQ), led by our very own AAUP member Jeff Isaac, will set the perfect tone with live performances from 4:00-4:45 PM.

Special Recognition: Following the music, we’ll take a moment to honor and express gratitude to colleagues who have demonstrated exceptional commitment to upholding academic freedom over the past year—celebrating those who stand up for the principles that make our university community strong.

Connect and Get Involved: This relaxed setting provides the ideal opportunity to meet your AAUP chapter officers, connect with like-minded colleagues, and discover meaningful ways to get more involved. Learn how you can contribute to growing our chapter and supporting the vital mission of our university.

Whether you’re new to AAUP, a returning member, or simply curious about our work, this welcoming event offers the perfect blend of social enjoyment and purposeful connection. Come for the jazz, stay for the community, and leave inspired to make a difference.

Food, drinks, and great company await!
