As finals week comes to a close, my favorite time of the year begins \u2013 summer! Although I don\u2019t have a summer break, I can attest nothing beats a summer in Iowa City. Below is a list I complied of some of my favorite things to do while in Iowa City during the summertime.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Commencement<\/u>, 15th<\/sup> \u2013 16th<\/sup> of May<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    There\u2019s no better way to thank the Class of 2015 for their contributions to the University of Iowa than wishing them good luck as they approach the next step in their life during the commencement ceremonies. You can find our commencement ceremonies all across campus – from Carver Hawkeye Arena – to the Iowa Memorial Union.<\/p>\n
