The University of Northern Iowa Foundation raised $29.28 million in support of the university during the 2024–25 fiscal year, as alumni and friends continued to invest in the success of UNI students and the future of the institution.
Nancy Witt, ’88, spent her life advocating for herself and others with disabilities. Today, her legacy lives on through an endowed scholarship opening doors for future Panthers.
Alum Julie Stoll shares a special bond with UNI wrestling program. Julie Stoll’s connection to Panther wrestling spans decades — first as a young fan in the stands, then as a student assistant working alongside coaches and athletes, and now as a donor supporting the program’s future.
Across UNI, donor-funded lecture series are creating transformative learning experiences by bringing renowned scholars, thought leaders and professionals to campus. Thanks to the generosity of alumni and friends, these lectures spark curiosity, enrich classroom learning, foster interdisciplinary dialogue and challenge students to see the world through new lenses.
More than two and a half years after breaking ground on the project, the University of Northern Iowa celebrated its newly renovated Applied Engineering Building with a ribbon cutting ceremony on Friday.
