More than 10,000 bicyclists pedaling across Iowa will arrive tomorrow in Coralville, an overnight stop for RAGBRAI XXXIX.

I should have known better. When I posted a question—“What’s on your bucket list?”—on the UIAA Facebook page, I should have expected the answers to revolve around Hawkeye football!
“Watching the Hawkeyes at the Rose Bowl!” said one person. “See Iowa win a national championship,” chimed in another.

Looking for thrills one Halloween night, my friends and I took a stroll from Currier Hall to Oakland Cemetery. Along the way, a black cat crossed our path—not a good sign for four college students about to come face-to-face with the Black Angel.
For those who haven’t heard the lore surrounding this statue, the Black Angel supposedly turns a shade darker…
A good part of the United States is sweltering under a protracted heat wave with no signs of cooler weather in the long-range forecast.
Friends and colleagues in Iowa City have been sharing their stories of things to do while staying cool. Many report watching old movies, playing board games with their children, and reading a good book. Others have been…
Several UIAA staff members ventured to Purdue University this past June to attend the Big Ten Alumni Relations Institute. Although the Big Ten universities compete against each other in collegiate meets and matches, their alumni relations offices benefit from collaboration. Members from each institution used the opportunity to socialize, share ideas, and participate in best-practice discussions. The UIAA’s own Leslie…
Say it isn’t so! I stopped by Target the other day to pick up some essentials, and the school supply shelves are already stocked with notebooks, pens, lunch boxes, and backpacks. Before we know it, we’ll be browsing those aisles to get everything we need for another school year.
The fall semester is already on the minds of the first-year students…
