In its official census day headcount, the University of Northern Iowa reported a total student population of 10,497, as well as a marked increase in a number of important areas including a record high four-year graduation rate.
While total enrollment is down from one year ago, the university began planning for the decrease in the early spring, making budget adjustments and working with the Board of Regents on a funding model to keep tuition rates steady.
During an eight-week internship at Boston University this summer, senior Mollie Sherman saw all sides of medicine – the thrilling successes and the anguishing defeats. And it gave her the confidence to pursue a goal she had been told she could never accomplish.
UNI students will once again search for the remains of the oldest building on campus.
This may seem a bit abstract, but please consider this: The grounds of the University of Northern Iowa are like a Jell-O salad.
Think of the grounds as a three-dimensional mold, the jiggly, gelatin confection analogy within which layers of the university’s history reside. Bricks, limestone rubble, nails and all other manner of bygone miscellany then become the fruit cocktail, the artifacts that are unearthed as you excavate through that iconic dessert.
