UNI has created a program that will help Iowa teachers receive their computer science education endorsement thanks to a recent grant of nearly $1 million.
UNI graduate and former John Pappajohn Entrepreneurial Center resident Russel Karim has made it big time — on the Times Square jumbotron in New York City.
For Brandon Purvis, undergraduate research at UNI was a career-changing experience.
