Giving Tuesday
All Day ()

This holiday season, we are reminded of the incredible spirit of giving that unites us all. At the University of Iowa, Giving Tuesday is more than just a symbolic day. It's an opportunity to come together and make a lasting impact on our entire Hawkeye campus.  

We invite you to be a part of something special by making a Giving Tuesday gift in support of the University of Iowa.

Give today: https://foriowa.info/47m9iN8

Your gift today can help enhance the student experience, advance our groundbreaking research and top-ranked arts program, and promote the success of our Big Ten athletic programs.

Everyone has something to contribute toward building a brighter future for the University of Iowa. Together, we will be able to...

Empower Students: Scholarships and financial aid are key to ensuring that talented students have access to a world-class education, regardless of their financial circumstances. Your contribution could help students reach their full potential.

Fuel Research: The University of Iowa is a hub of innovation and discovery. Your support can enable groundbreaking research that addresses some of society's most pressing challenges, from health care to sustainability.

Cultivate the Arts: Our vibrant arts community enriches the cultural landscape of Iowa and beyond. Your contribution today could help sustain our arts program and put our talented artists on the path to success.

Boost Athletics: Our athletic programs play a role in fostering teamwork, instilling discipline, and engendering a sense of pride among our students, alumni, and community. Your generosity can enhance our athletic programs and help our athletes excel both on and off the field.

Every gift, no matter the size or where it is designated, can make an incredible impact across campus. 

Let's come together and make this Giving Tuesday a day to remember.

Thank you for your support of the University of Iowa!

Wide Lens: Artificial Intelligence
4:00 pm - 5:30 pm (CST)
Where: 160 West Burlington Street, Iowa City, IA US 52242

In the past week, you´ve probably asked Google to answer questions, chatted with Siri, rocked out to a new band recommended by Spotify, or asked Chat GPT to produce a first draft of a form letter for you-reminders that our lives are already deeply entwined with artificial intelligence. The term "AI" covers a host of technologies. What connects them? Our very human ambition to create machines that can learn to solve problems. Join us for the next Wide Lens panel as experts from computer science, engineering, health care, the law, language learning, ethics, and the arts share how they´re engaging with AI, which forms AI takes in their work, and what questions they´re asking about future interactions between humans and machines. 

This is the third gathering in the UI's new Wide Lens series, in which researchers, scholars, and artists from across the university briefly present their work on a shared topic of interest, pecha kucha-style, at the Stanley Museum of Art.

Free and open to all; no RSVP necessary.

Presenters:

  • Jovana Davidovic (Philosophy, CLAS) - "AI and Ethics"

  • Mihailis Diamantis (College of Law) - "AI and the Law"

  • Daniel Fine (Theatre Arts and Dance, CLAS) - "AI and the Immersive Arts" 

  • Claire Frances, Giovanni Zimotti, and Luke Whitaker (Center for Language and Culture Learning, CLAS) - "AI and the Learning of Languages"

  • Jeydith Gutierrez (Internal Medicine, Carver College of Medicine) - "AI and Medicine"

  • Daniel McGehee (Driving Safety Research Institute, College of Engineering) - "AI and the Road"

  • Daniel Miller (Sculpture and Intermedia, CLAS) - "AI and the Arts" 

  • Padmini Srinivasan (Computer Science, CLAS) - "AI and Its Capabilities"

20 slides per presenter, 20 seconds per slide

Ruthless Timekeeper - Teresa Mangum, Obermann Center for Advanced Studies, Office of the Vice President for Research

Additional Hosts - Roland Racevskis, Associate Dean for the Arts and Humanities, CLAS; Kristy Nabhan-Warren, Associate Vice President for Research in the Arts, Humanities, and Social Sciences

Art & Write Night
6:00 pm - 8:00 pm (CST)
Where: 39-53 East Jefferson Street, Iowa City, IA US 52240

Join the long, rich, historical tradition of artists creating in our spaces.

Professional, aspiring, and amateur artists alike, make our museum your muse. The return of this popular program series welcomes guests into the Museum of Natural History's magical gallery spaces after-hours to work on sketching or writing projects with other campus and community artists.

Tell a friend, grab a notebook, and join us on the first Friday of each month. We'll provide a new inspo prompt for each session and will sometimes move about the Museum but we'll always start in the Hageboeck Hall of Birds (Bird Hall) on the third Floor of Macbride Hall. Join anytime between 6-8 p.m. and feel free to participate in a themed creation challenge or work on your own project with our exhibits as inspiration. We'll save the last 15-30 minutes of each session to share what we've been working on, connecting with others (optional, of course!).


Please note, the Museum is typically closed during this time, meaning the main entrance to Iowa Hall (atop the large staircase outside on the east side of Macbride Hall) will be closed and locked. All other building doors will be open, offering access to the Ground Floor of Macbride Hall. Bird Hall is located on the third floor of Macbride Hall and can be reached by stairs or by taking the elevator to the third floor and crossing the auditorium to the north side of the building.

Iowa's first-year phenom from the Netherlands leads postseason push.

University of Iowa podcasters dive into Hawkeye sports, health, and current events.

Hayden Fry's impact on the football field extends far and wide. His legacy beyond the gridiron looms just as large. Before, during, and after his 20-year tenure as head coach of the Iowa football team, Fry?who died Dec. 17 at age 90?used his platform to help others. As head coach at Southern Methodist University, Fry broke racial barriers in 1965 by recruiting wide receiver Jerry LeVias, the first African American scholarship athlete in the Southwest Conference. LeVias became an All-American in 1968 and opened the door for other African American athletes in the South. Fry considered it his greatest accomplishment when both he and LeVias were inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame in 2003. Fry helped his community again after he became head coach at Iowa in 1979. Amid the Midwest farm crisis in 1985, Fry launched the America Needs Farmers campaign?placing gold "ANF" decals on the Hawkeyes' helmets to raise awareness of their contributions. Fry, who was raised on a farm and recruited numerous players with farming backgrounds, started the campaign to let the country know that farmers need help. On Nov. 2, 1985, that message was received by a national audience that tuned into CBS to watch top-ranked Iowa?with "ANF" stickers adorned on their helmets?face Ohio State in Columbus. The gold stickers with black lettering became a conversation starter for the rest of the season that concluded with the Hawkeyes' trip to the 1986 Rose Bowl. The tradition continues today and extends beyond the helmet decals. Iowa hosts an annual American Needs Farmers game that allows farmers to share their experiences and knowledge with fans, and a wall of honor recognizes former UI football players who exemplify tenacity, work ethic, and character of the Iowa farmer. The "ANF" logo also appears on shirts, hats, and other apparel with the proceeds going to Iowa's food banks. Fry said he applied lessons that he learned on the farm to coaching. Those principles proved to be effective in helping him assemble successful coaching staffs and teams in the same way that people rallied around the America Needs Farmers campaign. "He was a master of building teams and pulling people together," says Iowa head football coach Kirk Ferentz, who worked under Fry as an assistant from 1981?1989 and became his successor at Iowa in December 1998. Earlier that year, Fry was diagnosed with prostate cancer but didn't share it publicly until after the season as health issues forced him to step down as the Hawkeyes head coach. As Fry's attention shifted to fighting the disease, he also spread cancer awareness. Fry assisted with a $10 million campaign funding the J. Hayden Fry Center for Prostate Cancer Research at the University of Iowa, gave speeches at UI Hospitals and Clinics, and visited cancer patients across the country. Fry also served on the UI Holden Comprehensive Cancer Center Advocacy Board and spoke at fundraisers to further support cancer research. Fry also served as an honorary board member for the Iowa Special Olympics and helped with raising funds for muscular dystrophy and numerous organizations, including the American Diabetes Association, the Iowa Council for Better Hearing and Speech, and the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation. In 1999, Fry earned a UI Distinguished Alumni Award (Faculty/Staff). Throughout his 20 years at the Hawkeyes head coach and beyond, Fry changed the University of Iowa for the better?on and off the field. At his retirement press conference, Fry held back tears and said: "All of the people who gave me an opportunity to spend 20 years as a member of the Hawkeye family, I could never repay them." From the Tigerhawk and America Needs Farmers campaign to his efforts in supporting cancer research, Fry's contributions to the University of Iowa, our state, and the country will never be forgotten.
