A new program from the University of Northern Iowa and Green Hills Area Education Agency will help increase student access to mental health services in high-need, rural areas of western Iowa currently struggling to hire school psychologists.
Mental health issues are on the rise in Iowa schools, but the school psychologists to help combat this trend are in short supply. UNI's School Psychology Program is the only state accepting students and helping meet these needs, and one of its associate professors was recently recognized for her work in the field.
UNI students will once again search for the remains of the oldest building on campus.
This may seem a bit abstract, but please consider this: The grounds of the University of Northern Iowa are like a Jell-O salad.
