Welcome to the Panther family! I am so glad you have chosen the University of Northern Iowa for the next chapter in your educational journey!

I am also beginning a new chapter in my journey, as I begin serving as UNI’s 10^th president this summer. I am thrilled to be on this journey with you, and I hope to meet as many students and parents as possible at orientation and throughout the next year.

At orientation, I encourage you to engage with faculty and staff, ask questions and connect with other students and parents. We are all excited about helping you begin this new chapter at UNI. This is an exciting time to engage in discovery and new adventures.

UNI is a great place where your future begins.

Purple for life!

Bill Ruud
President
