At the State Capital, on March 19, the Iowa House and Senate passed resolutions commemorating UNI's 125th anniversary and Gov. Tom Vilsack signed a proclamation declaring it UNI Day.

President Koob, staff and NISG members presented birthday cupcakes to legislators to mark the occasion.

Eight members of the UNI Concert Chorale entertained Vilsack, Lt. Gov. Sally Pederson and lawmakers with the school "Alma Mater."
