A note from President Nook
Welcome to the University of Northern Iowa! Returning students – great to see you again! New students – welcome! We are thrilled you have joined the Panther family. When I first visited campus, one of the first things students told me about the University of Northern Iowa was how committed the campus community was to their success. Students told me that faculty members set high expectations in their classes and programs so that they would be prepared to be successful in their careers and personal lives once they graduated from UNI. They quickly added that the faculty and staff worked hard to help every student achieve those expectations, and that their classmates supported each other to succeed in the classroom and beyond. This culture of commitment to the success of students has been a hallmark of the University of Northern Iowa experience throughout our history.

Cooling Centers Open in Eastern Iowa
Yesterday and today (August 26-27), eastern Iowa has been under an excessive heat warning, which will last until 8 p.m. tonight. If this isn't the most Iowa weather thing we've seen all summer, I don't know what is. For most of the middle of August, we've seen some of the best weather you can experience during Iowa summers. We were pleasantly enjoying our days with temperatures in the mid 70s. The Iowa State Fair set a new attendance record and I'm sure the incredible weather is part of the reason why. If it was this hot during the state fair being open, there's no chance a new record is et.
