In celebration of its 130th year at the University of Northern Iowa, The Northern Iowan student newspaper editorial team will be hosting a series of events showcasing the publication’s history.

The celebration will kick off Monday, Nov. 7 with the publication of the paper’s “Golden Issue,” which will revisit notable moments of coverage throughout the paper's history.
