We ask our students to follow the example of those who have come before them, and rise to the challenge of these five expectations: Excel Academic excellence means setting and meeting high standards for yourself as a student. Faculty, staff, and peers at Iowa ask students to work hard and push themselves intellectually. Students should expect only the best from themselves and the University. Stretch At Iowa, students will find a diverse selection of people, ideas, opportunities, and experiences that make Iowa the unique institution that it is. We challenge our students to step away from the familiar, try new ideas, experience new cultures, and learn from people different than themselves. Engage Students will become more successful and enjoy their experience if they are spending their time and energy on activities that truly matter. The University of Iowa offers almost limitless opportunities and resources to become a leader in and out of the classroom. We challenge our students to take advantage of them. Choose Students make decisions every day that affect their education and future, and it is important for them to take their choices seriously and use their freedom wisely. An Iowa education will be what the student makes it, and we challenge our students to make it something they will be proud of. Serve As members of the University of Iowa, students are a constituent of many communities both on and off campus. They have the opportunity and responsibility to be a good neighbor and citizen, and to serve the community. We challenge them The IOWA Challenge to make the community a great place to live. 3 On Iowa! is a program for first-year and transfer students enrolling for fall semester.

  • THE ANNALS of IOWA 70 (Winter 2011)
    The Annals of Volume 70, Number 1 Iowa Winter 2011 A QUARTERLY JOURNAL OF HISTORY In This Issue MICHAEL S. HEVEL, a doctoral candidate in the higher education program at the University of Iowa, describes the role of literary societies at Cornell College, the State University of Iowa, and the Iowa State Normal School in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. He argues that those societies provided opportunities for students to display publicly, in a variety of changing formats over the years, their higher learning. Through their programs, society members demonstrated their educational gains, improved their speaking abilities, and practiced the cultural arts. In addition, society members were instrumental in creating features of campus life that endure to the present. BREANNE ROBERTSON analyzes Lowell Houser’s entry in the compe- tition to create a mural for the Ames Post Office in 1935. She argues that his choice of Mayan subject matter, drawing on a contemporary fascination with Mexican culture in both subject and style, distinguished his work among a strong pool of applicants in the competition, and the execution of his mural sketch, which adhered to traditional notions of history painting, demonstrated a technical and thematic expertise that fulfilled the lofty aims of the selection committee and ultimately won for him the competition. Front Cover Members of the Orio Literary Society at Iowa State Normal School staged a dramatic production of Louis’ Last Moments with His Family in 1897. For more on literary societies at Cornell College, the State University of Iowa, and the Iowa State Normal School, see Michael Hevel’s article in this issue.
