University of Northern Iowa endorses CGS/JED statement of principles & commitments to support graduate student mental health & well-being

Washington, DC – In recent years, climate surveys and research studies have demonstrated a critical need to prioritize the mental health of postsecondary students, but little information exists about programs and services designed to address the needs of master’s and doctoral students. The University of Northern Iowa is pleased to endorse the recent work by the Council of Graduate Schools (CGS) and The Jed Foundation (JED) to address this issue.

Communication studies cohort travels to performance festival

Every semester, the Department of Communication Studies hosts student and faculty performances in its Interpreters Theatre, located on the University of Northern Iowa's campus in Lang Hall. These performances range from one-person shows to full-cast plays and give students the chance to write, direct, and act in a black box theatre.

As one of the top performance studies programs in the U.S., UNI also sends faculty and graduate students to performance festivals and conferences around the country, and this spring semester was no exception.
