If you have been following me you already know that I participated in Iowa Edge and that it really put the most beneficial spin on a jumpstart to my career at The University of Iowa.
The University of Iowa is an exciting place—full of academic, cultural, and social opportunities. Yet, attending a large university can be overwhelming and a little intimidating.
Many students have found that programs like The Iowa Edge eased their concerns and ensured a successful transition to university life. The Iowa Edge, August 15-18, 2011, is an exciting program for African American, American Indian, Asian American, Latino/a, and first-generation college students.
Participate in The Iowa Edge and:
- Meet students and campus leaders who will support you during your college experience
- Enjoy specialized campus tours and get familiar with campus life before the semester begins
- Develop leadership skills for success in class, on campus, and in life
The Iowa Edge is your personalized introduction to campus. On the first day of class, you’ll feel like a seasoned pro—not a lost first-year student. Move in early at no charge. Lodging, meals and program expenses for all participants are paid by a grant from the Kevin and Donna Gruneich Charitable Foundation.
