Building on a strong tradition of teacher education, the University of Northern Iowa has evolved into one of the finest comprehensive public universi­ ties in the country. UNI emphasizes exce llence in undergraduate education and offers se lected graduate programs at the master's, specialist's and doctoral lev­ els. UN l's heritage and philosophy place great value on providing a student-centered educational experience. The university offers a learning envi­ ronment that is small enough to provide students with individualized attention, yet large enough to provide a variety of resources , including distinguished fac­ ulty. UN l's special combination of challenge and support is indeed a key ingredi­ ent of a "Students First" education. Today, UNI offers more than 120 undergraduate majors. Outstanding aca­ demic programs, many of which are nationally-recognized for their excellence, have been established in the col leges of Business Administration, Education, Humanities and Fine Arts, Natura l Sciences, and Social and Behavioral Sciences. In addition, UNI participates in the bachelor of liberal studies pro­ gram offered by Iowa's Regent Universities and provides classes in centers around the state through the division of Continuing Education and Special Programs. Recognized as the premier public undergraduate university in the state, UNI is experiencing an increasing demand for its high-quality programs. Enrollment at UN I was 13,400 students in the fall of 2003. Students come from every county in Iowa, and about 94 percent of UNl 's undergraduate students are residents of Iowa upon enrollment. The University of Northern Iowa was founded in 1876 as the Iowa State Normal School. It became Iowa State Teachers College in 1909. In 1961 , the name was changed to State College of Iowa , and in 1967, the Iowa Legislature changed the status of the institution to that of a university Facts & Highlights under its present title . • U.S. News and World Report ranks UNI in the top two among public comprehensive universities in the Midwest.

• Kiplinger Personal Finance magazine places us in the top 50 in the nation for best value in public colleges.

• The Education Trust (www.edtrust.org) named UNI first among peer institutions nationally for overall high performance in grad­ uation rates.

• UNI prides itself on smaller class sizes that enhance faculty-stu­ dent interaction and personalized instruction. Thirty-two percent of classes have fewer than 20 students, and 83 percent have fewer than 40 students.

• UNI students are actively involved with more than 200 student organizations, including special interest clubs, sororities and fra­ ternities, religious groups and academic groups.

• UN I is the alma mater of NFL and Superbowl MVP Kurt Warner, as well as U.S. Sen. Charles Grassley.

• The UNI Wellness/Recreation Center, attached to the north side of the UNI-Dome, features a climbing wall, two pools, a running track, weight and fitness rooms, and courts for basketball, vol­ leyball and racquetball. ~ ! I i 1J:(ffil!J

Panther Park Located a mere stone's throw northwest of the UNI-Dome, Panther Park is the home of UNI Softball. The field has seen its share of improve­ ments since it was built over three decades ago, most notably a new outfield fence and new bullpens in the summer of 2004, and permanent irrigation in the summer of 2003. The foul lines extend 190 feet to both corners with the centerfield fence standing 220 feet from home plate. Vicious winds coming from every corner of the park have been known to give opposing out­ fielders fits, while home run hitters pray for the wind to blow out. The UNI-Dome The facility has fixed seating for nearly 16,400 and is the current home to the Panther football, track and men's basket­ ball teams, and is available for concerts and other major events. In 1998, the UNI-Dome became the first air-supported structure to be converted to a fixed roof.

Mark Messersmith Outdoor Track Complex UNl's outdoor track was completed in time for the Panthers to host the 1998 Missouri Valley Conference Outdoor Track and Field Championships.

Wellness/Recreation Center This $18.3 million facil ity, attached to the north side of the UNI-Dome, opened in the fall of 1997. It features the highest climbing wall in the Midwest, two pools, a running track, UNI-Dome weight and fitness rooms, and basketball, volleyball and rac­ quetball courts.

The West Gym The West Gym is home to the Panthers' wrestling, women's volleyball and women's basketball teams until the McLeod Center is constructed. The facility was remodeled four years ago with a new floor, locker rooms and lower bleacher seat­ ing.
