...of My Favorite Thing About UNI!



Hey Future Panthers!

I was starting to think about the thing I love most about UNI, and it was really hard to choose just one thing! When I started to look back on when I first visited campus, I realized that I love the whole atmosphere. I decided that my favorite thing about UNI is really the beautiful campus!

When I first toured UNI, I thought the buildings were so neat, and I really loved the size of campus because it wasn’t too intimidating. I knew when I visited that this was the right choice for me! I totally could see myself here, and I fell in love with the school after visiting.



 





Now that I am a student here, I love walking to class every day because I always see familiar faces and get to enjoy the beauty of our school! I really do feel at home here, and I think that is because of the environment.This makes going to class, even on a Monday, an enjoyable experience and puts me in a good mood for the rest of the day! Just remember to grab your gloves and a hot drink on a cold morning, and you will have a good experience walking to class too! :)

Have a great day! :)

...Of a Panther Basketball Fan!



Hey Future Panthers, a lot more than just snow is happening here. Our UNI Winter Athletic Teams are having great seasons so far! It's been great going to all the basketball games and wrestling matches, but the UNI Men's Basketball team is giving us an extra reason to smile this year! With a record like 18-2 it is hard to not want to smile when you think of the basketball team!

Your future Men's Basketball team is currently ranked #18 in the nation by the Coaches Poll and #18 in the AP Poll!

Yet again, the University of Northern Iowa makes this experience even better for you, the tickets for ALL athletic events (including Men's Basketball) are free! Yes, free! All you need to do is come with your student ID, and of course your Panther gear :) The Men's Basketball games are played in the McLeod Center on Robert J. McCoy Court, so be sure to head over there!



To get you a little more excited, why not check out last year's (2013-2014) season intro tape, (our 2014-2015 is not available to the public yet, you'll just have to come to a game to check it out)!




And don't forget to learn the interlude and the fight song before you head on over to the McLeod! :)

Here is a video of the Interlude from a white out game in 2011 :) Although you cant see all the moves, we will make sure you know them before the games start at summer orientation!
