Today is an exciting and proud day in the life of the university—when our students, their friends and family, and their teachers and mentors celebrate the completion of a University of Iowa degree. One of the greatest badges of pride you will wear from this day forward is your degree from the University of Iowa. The contributions you will make to the world will be rooted in the unique character of a UI education, so when you say you are an Iowa graduate, that carries a very special meaning. As we like to say, Once a Hawkeye, Always a Hawkeye! No matter where you work and live in the years ahead, we encourage you to stay engaged with the University of Iowa, and we offer many ways for you to do so. If you move to a new city, alumni resources and networking opportunities are there for you. You can keep cheering on the Hawkeyes at IOWA Club game-watching events around the country, and you can keep your ethic of community service strong through IOWA Club volunteer opportunities. You can also join alumni affinity groups to stay connected with alumni who share some of your most important UI experiences. We will come visit you as well! The UI travels the country every year to bring the campus to your community, to share updates about the exciting advances and innovations happening at the university, and to give Hawkeyes a chance to gather with each other and celebrate their Iowa pride. As you move on to the next phase of your life, we will continue to think of you as part of our university family, and hope to always be an important part of yours. Find ways to stay connected and get involved at Foriowa.org. I hope you’ll visit the site often—and of course return to campus to visit us when you can as well!
