Poe family announces major gift to UNI-Dome renovation
A local family of UNI graduates have announced a major donation to create a vibrant future for Panther Athletics.
Stan Poe along with his son Andy and daughter Katy (Harbaugh) – owners of Cedar Falls-based logistics company Standard Distribution – have committed a leadership gift toward the historic renovation of the UNI-Dome.
Both of Stan’s parents earned degrees from UNI – then the Iowa State Teachers College – in the early 1950s. Stan watched the UNI-Dome being built from the ground up, graduating in 1975 as the stadium was set to open the following year. Katy and Andy continued the family’s Panther legacy, graduating in 2001 and 2005, respectively.
The UNI-Dome renovation project is a part of UNI's Our Tomorrow campaign. Phase one of the renovation is underway with crews working to replace the center portion of the UNI-Dome roof through the summer.
