#DoesUIowaLoveMe? A social-media movement began in February with students from historically marginalized groups saying the UI does not do enough to promote diversity and prevent discrimination. Under the hashtag #DoesUIowaLoveMe, students shared stories of discrimination and other challenges they had experienced at the UI, challenging the school to better address their concerns.

Mollie Tibbetts ‘ death shocks nation
The second day of classes came with the news that the body of UI student Mollie Tibbetts was found. Tibbetts had been missing since July 18, when she disappeared from her home in Brooklyn, Iowa. Cristhian Bahena Rivera, the man charged with her murder, led investigators to her body in a cornfield in Poweshiek County. A vigil was held on campus that week in Hubbard Park, where students gathered to honor Tibbetts’ memory.

Iowa continued on to an impressive run in the NCAA Tournament, finally falling in the Elite Eight game against Baylor. The powerhouse of the team was undoubtedly Megan Gustafson, who racked up the most career points for any Hawkeye basketball player, ending the season with 2,781 total points. She received several national awards, including AP Player of the Year.
Free-speech issues flare on campus
UI brings change to greek community
The UI lost a court case in February surrounding the removal of Business Leaders in Christ as a registered student group. The UI removed Business Leaders in Christ in late 2017 after the organization denied a leadership position to then-sophomore Marcus Miller, saying he did not uphold the group’s faith statement because he is gay. The court ruled that the Human Rights Policy at the UI was not applied equally across student groups. Around the same time, the Iowa Legislature passed a bill that addressed freedom of speech on college campuses, including regulations around student groups.
An investigation into greek life conducted during the first semester resulted in four UI fraternities being removed from campus. Kappa Sigma, Delta Chi, Sigma Nu, and Sigma Alpha Epsilon lost their registration as student organizations in December. The fraternities were found in violation of the Fraternity/ Sorority Life moratorium that began in May 2017, which bans fraternities from putting on alcohol-related events, and UI alcohol policy. Several fraternities were also placed on probation.

Since 2017, the UI was in a legal dispute with contractor Modern Piping over work done on Hancher Auditorium and the Stead Family Children’s Hospital. District and state courts affirmed an arbitration panel’s award of more than $20 million for work done on the projects. This year, the Iowa Court of Appeals ruled in favor of Modern Piping, backing the 6th District Court’s ruling that the UI pay that judgment. In May, after a district-court judge lifted the stay on the execution of the judgment that was put in place pending the appellate court’s ruling, the UI had paid Modern Piping in full.
Historic cold causes death on campus
Another tragedy struck the university in January when UI student Gerald Belz, a Burge resident, died after university police found Belz unresponsive outside Halsey Hall early Jan. 30 when windchill temperatures dipped below minus-30 degrees. Later reports confirmed Belz died of hypothermia because of cold exposure.
UI Health Care employee’s mysterious death unresolved The community was affected by the death of UI Health Care employee JoEllen Browning in April. Browning, 65, died in her home on April 5. Investigators quickly ruled the death a homicide. Browning worked at UI Health Care for 42 years, and was described as a “loving wife, mother, sister, and friend.”
Election Night brings victory for female candidates in Iowa The November 2018 election was notably a victory for women. Kim Reynolds became the first elected female governor in Iowa history. Iowa voters elected its first female U.S. Congresswomen, Cindy Axne and Abby Finkenauer. In addition, 44 women were elected to the state Legislature, compared to a previous total of 35.

Division of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion offers resources for students
The Division of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion has seen many changes this year. One thing that hasn’t changed is the resources it offers. The Division of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion, formely named the Center for Diversity and Enrichment, provides precollege student development, assistance with enrollment process, and programs that support the ability of underserved students. The division strives to ease transitions and bring awareness to opportunities available. The division serves several communities: African American/Black, Asian/Asian American, persons with disabilities, veterans, women, first generation, Hispanic/ Latinx, LGBTQ, Native American, and Transgender. It also offers various programs to engage these groups. Programs through the center include: Advantage Iowa scholars, Iowa Edge, and TRIO student-support services. Advantage Iowa scholarships are granted to first-year students from historically underrepresented populations.
There are requirements the scholarship maintains that may be discussed with an adviser. Iowa Edge is a transitional program to ease marginalized populations into the college experience. Participants meet faculty and campus leaders to provide support, build community with peers, and develop leadership skills. TRIO is a federal grant funded program by the Department of Education. Through individualized coaching and skill development affect 350 students who demonstrate academic need alongside identifying as first-generation, low-income, or have a verified disability. The students receive support in retention to graduation. These programs and more are offered through the center and can be found at its website or the University Capitol Center, which will house the division after it moves at the beginning of fall semester.

Promoting student health, wellness Students have access to all the tools they need for a healthy lifestyle with different University of Iowa programs. There are many different health services available to students on the University of Iowa campus. Student Health & Wellness underwent a major change during the 201819 academic year — the program broke into two separate entities, Student Health and Student Wellness. This division is an effort to create a greater emphasis on the UI’s movement toward a holistic approach to student health care.
Student Health Located in Westlawn on 200 Newton Road, Student Health is only a short bus ride away from campus, and provides unlimited visits to students at no additional cost outside of their tuition. Student Health offers allergy treatments and shots, confidential gynecology, immunizations, travel education in health-related areas, lab
procedures, sexual-health services, LGBTQ-friendly medical care from a LGBTQ-friendly provider, nurse care, and mental health care. To schedule an appointment, students can either call at 319-335-8394 or register for a MyChart account.
Student Wellness Student Wellness, while no longer a part of Student Health, is still located in the same place, along with a secondary location in the Campus Recreation and Wellness Center. The new department offers services for students in the areas of fitness, nutrition, stress management, alcohol, drugs, tobacco and e-cigarettes, sexual health, and sleep. Some specific programs include a 5K/10K training program, intuitive eating workshops, and Refresh, which teaches students about getting a restful night of sleep.

Health care with a statewide reach UI Health Care has offered high-quality care to its patients for almost 150 years, and continues to make strides in the community. University of Iowa Hospitals & Clinics UI Hospitals & Clinics started out on the East Side of the Iowa River in 1873. More services were added over the years, such as the children’s hospital and the psychopathic hospital in the early 1900s. The hospital moved into a new facility on the west side of the river in 1928, and still stands there today. UIHC’s main facility, located at 200 Hawkins Drive, is Iowa’s only comprehensive academic medical-care center. The 811-bed hospital is ran by 13,000 employees, students, and volunteers on any given day. Many other clinics and facilities care for patients in addition to the main facility.
UI Stead Family Children’s Hospital The UI Stead Family Children’s Hospital, the only comprehensive children’s hospital in the state,
opened in 2017. The 190-bed hospital served 77,068 patients last year, coming from every county in Iowa, nearly every state, and several countries. High on the 12th floor, pediatric patients and their families can see the ideal view of Kinnick Stadium every home football game through the Rooftop Press Box, both settings of the iconic Hawkeye Wave, a tradition that has gained national attention.
Carver College of Medicine On 375 Newton Road, the Carver College of Medicine stands as one of the nation’s top medical schools, and works closely with UIHC to provide patients with the best theoretical knowledge and clinical care possible. Many specialized centers are housed in the college, including the Holden Comprehensive Cancer Center, the Iowa Neuroscience Institute, and the Carver Family Center for Macular Degeneration.
UI QuickCare
UI QuickCare is available to students in need of non-emergency-based care. Located in the Old Capitol Town Center on 201 S. Clinton St., students can receive care without setting up an appointment. Conditions treated at Quick Care include respiratory illnesses, minor ear, eye, and skin conditions, minor injuries, bladder infections, sexually transmitted disease, vomiting, and diarrhea.
UI Health Care LGBTQ Clinic The UI LGBTQ Clinic, located at Iowa River Landing at 105 E. 9th St., serves the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer and questioning communities by providing full-service health care to meet LGBTQ health needs. All clinic staff has had LGBTQ-specific cultural humility training to ensure a welcoming environment.

Sexual-misconduct programs in place for students in need
For students who have experienced sexual misconduct, there are many places to turn to on the UI campus and in the area for help. Sexual misconduct is defined by the University of Iowa as encompassing any unwelcome behavior of a sexual nature that is committed without consent or by force, intimidation, coercion, or manipulation. Further, the UI emphasizes that the only person responsible for sexual misconduct is the perpetrator. The UI defines consent as a freely and affirmatively communicated willingness to participate in a particular sexual activity or behavior, expressed either by words or clear, unambiguous actions. There are many resources available, both on and off campus and confidential and nonconfidential, for survivors of sexual misconduct.
Confidential resources Confidential, on-campus counseling for survivors of sexual misconduct and violence is available through University Counseling Service, the Women’s Resource & Action Center, and the Rape Victim Advocacy Program. The Office of the Ombudsperson is available to any member of the UI community. It a confidential resource that offers a safe space for people who have
experienced situations including but not limited to sexual misconduct or harassment, discrimination, and unethical conduct to voice their concerns. The Ombudsperson Office is confidential except in cases where there is risk of physical harm or if it is ordered by law to disclose relevant information. Monsoon Asians & Pacific Islanders in Solidarity (formerly Monsoon United Asian Women of Iowa) provides free and confidential services to Asian and Pacific Islander survivors of sexual assault, domestic violence, and human trafficking. Staff members are multilingual and speak a combined 14 languages, ensuring that survivors can communicate in the language in which they are most comfortable. Nisaa is a confidential organization that provides culturally and linguistically specific support to African immigrant survivors of sexual assault and domestic violence. The Domestic Violence Intervention Program offers confidential support and advocacy for survivors and victims of domestic violence, dating violence, stalking, and human trafficking. Transformative Healing renders free and confidential support, preven-

tion, and outreach services to members of the LGBTQ community.
Nonconfidential resources If survivors of sexual assault wish to file complaints, they may have two options. The Office of the Sexual Misconduct Response Coordinator responds to reports of sexual misconduct in the UI community. Reports can be filed in person, over the phone, through email, or via an online reporting form. Survivors may also report to the police department of the locale in which the incident took place. The Sexual Misconduct Office is responsible for informing survivors about both options. Survivors who wish to have a sexual-assault medical exam performed may go to either the University of Iowa Hospitals & Clinics Emergency Treatment Center or Mercy Hospital to be examined by a specially trained nurse. The cost of the exam is paid for by the Iowa Attorney General’s Office, Crime Victim Assistance Division. Evidence may be collected and preserved for a current or future criminal investigation.

Coming to the UI from across the globe
No matter which country students call home, UI International Programs aims to help ease students’ adjustment to U.S. life. The UI offers various resources for international students navigating life in the U.S. through International Student and Scholar Services. In 2018, there were 3,665 international students from 115 countries studying or doing postgraduate research at the UI. Before arriving to campus, International Student and Scholar Services hosts a webinar series for prospective and incoming students. The series informs students about housing, life in Iowa City, employment, UI billing, mental
health support, and more. International Services provides support for international students and scholars through immigration and personal advising and cross-cultural training and programming. It provides resources, activities, training, and recognition for international students on campus. It also engages in cultural competency and intercultural-awareness training with Hawkeye staff and faculty to make Iowa City a welcoming place for international students and visitors.

Study from here to there There are opportunities for students looking to study abroad to expand their cultural understanding during college. UI Study Abroad offers students a chance to spend break terms, summers, semesters, or entire academic years in another country. Students are able to study or intern nearly any destination they wish, depending on their programs of study. In the 2017-18 academic year, $600,250 worth of scholarships were awarded to students studying abroad. There were 1,189 students studying in 67 countries around the world. For students considering study abroad options, visit the University Capitol Center’s International Programs office.
There, students can meet with a study-abroad peer adviser to review options and discuss programs that may be of interest given their objectives. Then, students can arrange to meet with a study-abroad adviser and ask about specific program details, and later meet with an academic adviser to discuss how the courses taken as part of the study-abroad program could apply to a UI degree. Before venturing across the globe, students will need to make sure they have a passport, apply to their program of choice, and complete a studyabroad credit approval.

Take care of your mental health with University Counseling Service The University Counseling Service offers a number of options for students seeking resources to meet their mental-health needs. The University Counseling Service offers a wide range of counseling services to University of Iowa students, ranging from Quick Access, same day problem-solving, or crisis-management appointments, and clinical services. In 2016, the state Board of Regents approved a $12.50 mental-health fee for students to pay and fund the hiring of eight additional counselors. UI Student Government approved a $2 increase to the fee in March to fund three additional counselor positions and partially fund a staff psychologist to develop a campus-wide suicide-prevention program. Clinical-service options offered by the service include group counseling, individual counseling, couple or relationship counseling, career assessment and testing, case management and referrals, and trans-inclusive services.

To change sex and gender in UI records, students can go to their MyUI accounts, select the “Student Information” tab, scroll down to the header “Student Life Management,” select “Sex and Gender,” and update their preferred identifications. To change a student’s preferred name and
pronouns in UI records, students should follow a similar process. Also under “Student Information” in MyUI and under the “Student Life Management” header, students can update their names and pronouns through the “Preferred Name and Pronouns” tab. Students are also encouraged to look into the Trans Student Support fund, which assists and supports UI trans students seeking legal name and document changes but have limited financial means to do so. In the summer of 2016, the UI restroom project converted restrooms into gender-neutral spaces. Students living on campus now have the ability to
select gender-inclusive housing in their UI Housing application and choose to live in the “All In” LLC for LGBTQ students, and a number of residence halls have pod-style bathrooms that aim to take away the struggle that trans and nonbinary students may have when choosing a restroom. UI students are also have the opportunity to join the Trans Alliance student organization, which focuses on spreading awareness of transgender issues and increases public knowledge of these issues. Students are also welcome at the Pride Alliance Center to find a community among other trans students in a nurturing environment.

Being first-generation students The UI offers support for nearly one-fourth of its students who are the first in their families to pursue higher education. Hawkeyes who are the first in their families to blaze the trail toward completing a degree are celebrated at the University of Iowa. Nearly one-fourth of the student population reports being first-generation. The UI works on developing initiatives for first-generation Hawks through the First-Generation Task Force. The task force comprises people from different areas of campus and has focused on involvement in the National First-Generation Celebration. First-generation students can also seek support with resources in the Division of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion. Many first-generation students are part of other underrepresented populations as well.
Next academic year, the UI will bring back the First-Generation Learning Living Community in the residence halls, and it will include a learning component through the Rhetoric Department. Another support mechanism is the First Generation Summit, a student-led initiative that has been implemented to celebrate students with the identity. UI Student Government hosted the event for a second time this past spring. It brings speakers and also provides workshops for students and community members to attend. Ultimately, the summit gives an opportunity for students with the first-generation identity to come together and build relationships.
Katie Goodale/The Daily Iowan Panel members listen to a question from Vice President for Student Life Melissa Shivers, the moderator of the panel, during the First Gen Summit in the IMU Main Lounge on April 13.
Navigating financial aid Programs for Figuring out how to finance the cost of a degree can be complicated. Resources on campus aim to offer support to students in need. As the conversation surrounding tuition rates rises among the state Board of Regents and University of Iowa officials, students are still learning how to navigate the increasing costs of their education, housing, dining, textbooks, etc. Fortunately, there are several tools available to students seeking financial aid. First, the Office of Student Financial Aid can connect students to work-study jobs, in which on-campus employment funnels payment directly into tuition dollars, or other work opportunities on campus, for students who just need some spending money. The website also provides information regarding scholarships, loans, among many items, so students can narrow down which opportunities they are, and are not, eligible for. Finally, Financial Aid actively works to educate students on financial literacy: teaching students how to track their spending, pull their credit reports, check their loan balance, etc. Resources include helpful links on how to create a budget, or compare and repay loans. Equally helpful is the UI Student Government’s guide to “Being Not-Rich at Iowa,” a collaborative document that for students to share saving tips and advice.

While many students expect and may even enjoy alcohol and substance use, others may need to disengage and distance themselves from it. The University of Iowa has an established support system for those struggling with substance abuse. The UI Collegiate Recovery Program embodies alcohol-harm reduction, providing a network of services and opportunities for students at any level of recovery from substance abuse so they can achieve their academic goals. The program distinguishes itself from an addiction-treatment program, aspiring instead to be a community for people struggling with substance
abuse and a space supported by qualified, professional staff. Strength in Numbers and Success Not Excess groups that are both available to foster an encouraging environment for students in recovery or who seek alternative ways to connect with peers. UI Hospitals & Clinics also offers outpatient services for students fighting alcohol and substance abuse. In addition, the UI continually provides alternatives to alcohol and substance-based activities. Sober and student-based events are available every week, so students can comfortably recover and abstain from drinking, smoking, etc.

Who’s at the helm of the University of Iowa? Several administrators are fairly new to campus, while others have helped run the UI for years. These are some key power players. UI President Bruce Harreld
University of Iowa President Bruce Harreld assumed the role in November 2015. Before Harreld was selected, the UI chapter of the American Association of University Professors conducted a survey revealing that only 1.8 percent of faculty and 2.6 percent of other respondents considered him qualified for the job. As a former IBM, Kraft Foods, and Boston Market executive, Harreld lacks the experience in higher education many members of the campus community believe is necessary to govern the university. That concern sparked several protests around the time of Harreld’s hiring, as well as a sanction from the national AAUP to condemn what faculty said was a lack of shared governance in the hiring process. The AAUP voted to lift the sanction in June 2018 after faculty and administrators collaborated to draft a UI presidential-search document outlining best practices to promote the involvement of shared-governance leaders in the process. The 21st president of the UI, Harreld has spent the last three years de-
veloping and implementing a strategic plan according to key institutional priorities: research and discovery, student success, and engagement.
Executive VP and Provost Montserrat Fuentes Two years after the departure of UI Executive Vice President and Provost P. Barry Butler, the role will be filled by Montserrat (Montse) Fuentes on June 28. Currently the dean of the College of Humanities and Sciences at Virginia Commonwealth University and a first-generation college graduate, Fuentes said she came to the UI because she believes it’s a campus at which people want to stay, because of quality faculty, staff, and students. Members of the search committee for her position said Fuentes’ interest in interdisciplinary collaboration, strong leadership, and passion for student success set her apart from other candidates. Sue Curry, formerly the dean of the College of Public Health, has held the role on an interim basis since Butler’s departure.
Katie Goodale/The Daily Iowan VP for Student Life Melissa Shivers asks a panel a question during the First Gen Summit in the IMU on April 13.

In her position, she oversees the Division of Student Life, which encompasses university operations such as Housing & Dining, the Office of the Sexual Misconduct Response Coordinator, and the four cultural and resource centers.
VP for Finance/Operations: Rod Lehnertz

VP for Medical Affairs Brooks Jackson
This will be UI Vice President for Medical Affairs and Dean of the Carver College of Medicine J. Brooks Jackson’s second full year as the leader of UI Health Care. Jackson is known for his internationally recognized AIDS research, governance of the National Institutes of Health-funded clinical trials for the prevention of mother-to-child HIV transmission, and the treatment of pediatric HIV infection and complications. Jackson recently introduced a strategic plan for UI Health Care, which highlights relationship between the hospital and Carver College of Medicine, strong leadership in research, faculty, ranking, and outreach, and the importance of scholarship money for UI medical students.

No sleep? No problem: Coffee shops in Iowa City In the city of writers and thinkers, coffee shops can be found on nearly every block serving up lattes, mochas, and other caffeinated beverages.
Katie Goodale/The Daily Iowan Then-UI student Grace Czechowicz grabs a pastry from the display in Bread Garden Market located in Iowa City on Aug. 27, 2018. Indissoluble from the “college experience” is an inseparability from the aroma and taste of a certain bean-based beverage commonly referred to as coffee. Because Iowa City has cemented itself as a literary city full of writers and thinkers, there is certainly no shortage caffeinated hotspots — whether you are studying, catching up with friends, or pumping out a nine-page research paper, there is a macchiato with your name on it. Prairie Lights, for example, features a quaint coffee shop, called the Times Club, among its plethora of novels and notebooks — with an ever-rotating array of drinks, the lesser-known spot is a favorite of English professors, writers, and those looking to escape the chaos of some other well-known chains. Favorites, such as the ubiquitous Starbucks and Iowa City landmark Java House, which also has a location in the Iowa Memorial Union, offer a
quick pick-me-up as opposed to a place to park yourself for hours at a time, although Java’s downtown location does offer ample seating. Both Prairie Lights and Java House offer classic cups, such as Chai lattes and cappuccinos, and also feature signature drinks — Java’s sugar-cookie latte is the perfect marriage of the sweetness of the dessert and buzz of the caffeine. Newer ventures, such as Poindexter (which is attached to the Graduate Hotel), may be fresh in town but are equally enjoyable to explore. Regardless of your “spot,” Iowa City surely has beans to die for. Plus, who doesn’t need an afternoon jolt of energy? Another newer coffee shop in town is Cortado, which opened in January 2017.

Shop ‘til you drop Where to find clothes, accessories, gifts, books, and Halloween costumes in downtown Iowa City. From local art, vinyl records, and antiques to clothing, accessories, and jewelry, Iowa City certainly has much to choose from in the shopping realm. If you are visiting Iowa City for the weekend or living here for four years, the ever-changing landscape of the city’s stores never produce a dull shopping experience. • Iowa Book: Bursting to the seams with Hawkeye pride, this downtown spot features a large selection of Tigerhawk gear along with school supplies and textbooks. In addition to your required reading, however, Iowa Book carries a large selection of timeless novels and up-and-coming authors. • White Rabbit: Featuring the work of local artists, hand-made gifts, and vintage clothing, White Rabbit’s constantly changing selection of unique items is perfect for finding gifts and personal indulgence alike. Iowa City’s bustling art scene is showcased here in full force: everything from stickers (perfect for laptops,) posters, prints, and ceramic pieces create a unique shopping experience every time. This shop is also right next door to Record Collector, Iowa City’s one-stop-shop for vinyl (and even cassette tapes.) • Artifacts: With everything from midcentury modern furniture to antique children’s’ toys, Artifacts has everything you could imagine … and then some. The store certainly lives up to its tagline of “no boring stuff allowed.” Whether you are looking for
old post cards to fill the walls of your dorm room or a quirky accoutrement to adorn your desk, the store’s constantly replenished stock of unique items will certainly warrant a second (and third) trip back. • Ragstock: When Halloween rolls around, students often scramble to find the pieces of their costumes. But with Ragstock right next door to Java House in the heart of the city, your costume will assemble itself right in front of your eyes. When it’s not a “spooky” time of year, the store is known for a wide variety of pre-owned and vintage clothing. • Raygun: Ubiquitous in Iowa for its array of quirky, sardonic, and politically charged T-shirts, Raygun is a mainstay in the Hawkeye State. In addition to special-edition shirts that chronicle events and political movements, the store also sells coffee mugs, magnets, and post cards. • Prairie Lights: In addition to a quant coffee shop, Prairie Lights, which President Obama visited on his trips to the university, regularly makes the top of the “best bookstores in the country” list. Iowa City’s reputation as a true writers’ city is truly shown by the breadth of written works available at the storied location — prose, poetry, cookbooks — you name it — line the shelves of the warm and inviting book emporium. The store also regularly hosts readings by local, national, and international writers.

tizers, entrees, and libations. Then, of course, are the Iowa City favorites — Pancheros ever-present burrito (and famous late hours,) Mesa’s zany pizza slices, and Melk’s cereal milkshakes all come to mind. Other must-visits, such as the soups, salads, and sandwiches of Nodo and Dumpling Darling’s vegan and vegetarian bites, perpetually experience a crowd of satisfied foodies. Breakfast is also something Iowa City doesn’t take lightly. Both Hamburg Inn, which is visited by presidential hopefuls during caucus season, and Bluebird Diner offer the perfect atmosphere for a date or long-awaited breakfast with old friends. Regardless of your culinary tastes, however, a five-minute (or less) walk through Iowa City will yield countless options for your rumbling stomach.

When hunger strikes, it often strikes fast — but where, you may ask yourself, should this unstoppable force of evil meet its match? Throughout Iowa City, a myriad of resturants — with a plethora of culinary options — will assist you in vanquishing even the most vicious hunger. Basta, for example, offers deceptively simple Italian dishes. The restaurant’s name, which comes from an Italian phrase that means “enough,” is the perfect place for a date-night, parents’ weekend, or a relaxed evening with close friends. After all: is there anything better for unwinding from a long week than an oven-fired pizza and laughs with friends? A new, but highly rated spot, St. Burch, is split into two levels: a dining room (the “tavern”) and a basement (the “den”), which offer a variety of appe-

History at the heart of campus The University of Iowa Natural History and Old Capitol Museums bring 500-million years of Hawkeye state history to students and community members alike with two museums located on the Pentacrest. At the heart of the University of Iowa are the Pentacrest Museums — the Old Capitol Museum and the Museum of Natural History. The Old Capitol the only National Historic Landmark in Iowa City; it used to be the Capitol of the territory, then the state of Iowa. Today, it’s a museum for the humanities with a number of exhibits dedicated to art and state history. You can go to a reception or event in one of the rotundas on the first or second floor, see a lecture, or visit the Hanson and Keys Humanities Galleries. The Old Capitol is rich in its history as well, and you can visit the Senate Chamber, where the UI was founded, or the Supreme Court Chamber. The north point of the Pentacrest is Macbride Hall, home of the Museum of Natural History. There, you can see the history of Iowa hundreds of millions of years before it was Iowa, from its time underwater 380 million years ago to the Ice Ages to the present. Visitors can also look at intricate exhibits of different ecosystems and biospheres from Iowa and beyond and meet the museum’s mascot, Rusty the Giant Sloth. The Natural History Museum has been around since 1858 and was rebuilt in the early 20th century as Macbride Hall. On occasions such as Parents Weekend, the number of activities in both museums opens up for more arts and crafts for younger visitors. Both museums are open six days a week from Tuesday to Sunday and closed for the holidays.
Tate Hildyard/The Daily Iowan Rusty the giant sloth is seen in the natural history museum in Macbride Hall on April 16.

Listen to live tunes around town Bands, symphony orchestras, and comedians from all over the country come to Iowa City every year to perform at variety of venues in downtown Iowa City. Some notable visitors include Drake Bell, Lizzo, Mason Ramsey, and Mitski, who all performed during the 2018-19 academic year. As a vibrant center of culture in the Heartland, Iowa City has a number of fantastic music venues that offer a slew of nationally acclaimed acts and artists every year. The major music venues on campus are Hancher and the Voxman Music Building. These venues tend to host larger, classical performances. Hancher hosts a diverse array of performances, including lectures, contemporary and classical music, as well as theater performances, from student productions to world-class Broadway productions. In the last academic year, Hancher hosted the Philadelphia
Orchestra, the Canadian Brass, and productions of Les Miserables and Jersey Boys. Voxman features a wide variety of individual and group recitals by students and faculty of the UI School of Music. Off campus, students can find entertainment at one of many music venues including the Englert, Gabe’s, Blue Moose, the Mill, and the Yacht Club. A restaurant by day and venue by night, the Mill has plenty of dining space in the front, with a stage and a bar located in the back of the establishment. Japanese Breakfast played at the Mill earlier this year.
Drake Bell and Mason Ramsey (a.k.a. Walmart Yodeling Kid) were two of the biggest artists that came through the Blue Moose during the past school year. Gabe’s and the Yacht Club offer a slate of local and regional talent every week. Opened in 1912, the Englert has been a mainstay of culture in Iowa City for more than 100 years. It is the venue in which large, nationally recognized artists generally set up shop. During the 2018-2019 academic year, Kamasi Washington, Demetri Martin, and Mitski were just a few of the acts that were featured at the Englert.

Watch a show at Hancher Hancher’s 2019-20 season lineup includes music, three Broadway shows, comedy, and lectures.
Located near the Levitt Center, Hancher Auditorium is the largest performing-arts venue on campus. It presents music, dance, lectures, and theatre productions all year long and offers reduced student-ticket prices for most events. In May, Hancher announced its lineup of acts for the 2019-20 season, garnering a wide variety of artists showcasing their talent to Iowa City. The lineup consists of musical acts such as Diana Ross, who will be visiting in celebration of her 75th birthday. Ross famously released songs such that have routinely hit the U.S. Billboard Hot 100, such as “Where Did Our Love Go” and “Stop! In The Name of Love.” Audra McDonald will give a musical theatre flare to the stage later in September. For more instrumental music, the Grammy-winning group Los Angeles Guitar Quartet will showcase their strings together, featuring their latest music. Described as “the most in-demand string quartet today,” according to Hancher’s website, the Danish String Quartet will provide some classical delicacies later in May. Dance shows will include Sankai Juku, the internationally-traveling bukoh troupe native to Japan. In celebration of Dance Gala, Urban Bush Women

Bringing the classical American novel to life, The Color Purple will tell it’s heartbreaking tale of a young woman living in the American South in January. Hancher’s last musical of the season, BEAUTIFUL – The Carole King Musical, tells the true story of King and her journey to musical stardom. Other acts such as comedian Negin Farsad will take a more humorous approach to the crowd, known for her feminist style of tackling controversial issues. Hancher will also host free events during the fall. This will include a concert from singer Storm Large, making a second appearance outside of the building in Septepmber. Following shortly, Van Jones, founder and president of the Dream Corps, will give a lecture titled “Protest & Politics in the Age of Twitter.” His previous endeavors included writing three New York Times nonfiction bestsellers and acting as green jobs adviser to the Obama White House. The auditorium has previously invited a large number of significant artists since its reopening in 2016 after sustaining damages from Iowa City’s 2008 flood. Transitioning into the building’s third year, Hancher is keeping this tradition strong and alive.
Iowa City theaters set the stage The theatre scene thrives not only on the UI campus, but in Iowa City as well.
• Englert: Located at 221 Washington St., it is an ideal entertainment venue of Iowa City. The theater hosts events every week, featuring comedians, magicians, singers, lecturers, workshops, and community discussions. 2019 events at the Englert have included Ron Stallworth in a discussion of how he infiltrated the ranks of the KKK in the 1970s, improvisational comedy group Second City, comedian Piff the Magic Dragon, and standup comedian Preacher Lawson. The Englert also hosts festivals throughout the year, including the Witching Hour Festival in the fall and the Mission Creek Festival in the spring. • Riverside Theater: From classical theatre to new works, Riverside presents professional performances from September through April at its
location on North Gilbert Street. In June and July, the theater centers its performances on the classics. The theater is a nonprofit organization that employs more than 100 actors a year.
Ben Allan Smith/The Daily Iowan People walk the streets outside The Englert Theater on April 6, 2017.
• FilmScene: For students looking for a unique venue in which to see new, old, independent, or international movies, FilmScene is the place to go. The two-screen cinema is located at 118 College St., on the Pedestrian Mall. FilmScene is a nonprofit organization that works with the Bijou Film Board, a student-run organization. The two organizations work together to support smaller film and media artists by showing their work on the big screen. Students can often get into movies for free or reduced prices, but tickets are typically under $10.

What to do when your parents come to visit The Iowa City/Coralville area has a multitude of activities and places to stay for parents and families coming to visit their Hawkeye.
When the parents come to town there is no shortage of activities to keep everyone busy. A prime time for a visit is typically University of Iowa Family Weekend, Nov. 15-17, during which families come together, meet, and partake in various activities. Parents can check into the Iowa House Hotel, located in the Iowa Memorial Union, for the weekend for a central, easy location, but the surrounding Iowa City and Coralville community has plenty of hotels and motels to choose from when planning
a stay. When it’s a big game day for football or basketball, the hotels closer to downtown may be taken up sooner than ones in the Coralville area. Students can show their parents around to see the sights, such as the Pentacrest Museums, go shopping for UI gear at the Hawk Shop in the IMU, and enjoy meals in local places, such as Hamburg Inn, Chop House, or Bluebird Diner. Quality family entertainment can also be found by touring the UI Karro Athletics Hall of Fame, having a
picnic at Hickory Hill Park, and traversing to Coralville to shop at bigger chain outlets such as Walmart, Target, and Kohl’s and walk around the Coral Ridge Mall. If the time of the year is right, families can also visit Wilson’s Orchard near Iowa City or Colony Pumpkin Patch in North Liberty. Students can also take their parents to see a movie at FilmScene, Marcus Coral Ridge Cinema, and Marcus Sycamore Cinema at the Sycamore Mall.

Keeping Hawkeyes entertained UI Campus Activities Board and SCOPE are two student groups that work to bring comedians, activities, and music to campus for Hawkeyes to enjoy.
Chris Kalous/The Daily Iowan Local comedian Sarah Haskings performs during the CAB comedy show on April 29 at the IMU. Campus Activities Board focuses on bringing entertainment to the UI campus. Each year, CAB provides students with a number of activities each week, from comedy shows to feature films, CAB is the source for all things entertainment. In CAB, there are 10 committees. The comedy committee brings top-act comedians from all over the country to the UI, and the films committee shows newly released films at the IMU. There is also a traditions committee focused on preserving and creating traditions, a Night Hawks committee focused on nightly activities, and a special-events committee that is in charge of large scale events, such as Welcome Week. The cultural committee puts on events representing different cultures around the world, and the variety committee is in charge of hosting weekend trips and weekly Thursday activities
of all types. The novelty committee, the most recent addition to CAB, hosts events two to three times per month, including trivia night. There are also committees for marketing and public relations for students seeking to promote CAB behind the scenes. SCOPE provides UI students with the opportunity to learn more about the music industry by offering quality concerts and entertainment to the university and Iowa City communities. SCOPE is also responsible for planning the UI Homecoming shows each year. It has hosted such musicians as Billie Eilish, Lizzo, and Car Seat Headrest in the past and features big names in the music industry every year. Each fall semester, SCOPE looks for student genuinely interested in the music industry to join the organization, located in the IMU.

Megan Conroy/The Daily Iowan Actress and author Diane Guerrero responds to a question during her interview with KRUI to discuss her book and her lecture at the University on April 30.
Explore a future in the Army with ROTC For students interested in the Army, ROTC serves as a resource for education and training. The University of Iowa has programs for everyone on campus, providing many different opportunities for involvement. One of these many programs is ROTC, which gives students the opportunity to gain the skills for graduation while simultaneously gaining the skills to become an officer in the Army if they choose. Reserve Officer Training Corps, known as ROTC, is composed of a set of electives that students may take to gain knowledge on the history of the Army, leadership and management skills, and military instruction. Many of these skills are applicable to any field that students pursue, so there are no majors that ROTC would not benefit. With only one elective class per semester, the ROTC program does not interfere with students’ field of study. While ROTC programs reward students with greater skill development as well as opportunities after David Harmantas/The Daily Iowan college, students may also be reThe UI Air Force ROTC mounts a color guard before a game against Northern Iowa at Kinnick Stadium on Sept. 15, 2018. warded with additional scholarship The Hawkeyes defeated the Panthers, 38–14. opportunities. ROTC offers many
scholarships for students involved in the program, typically based on merit. While the amount of money awarded in scholarships may vary, scholarship winners are an “allowance” of up to $1,500 per year. While many students are interested in the ROTC for career benefits, skills development, and scholarship opportunities as a bonus, many ask whether it requires military obligation. ROTC does not require a military obligation the first two years of involvement and do not have a service obligation after college unless the student chooses to enroll as an Army officer. This allows students the option to choose their path later while gaining additional leadership and managerial skills in college. If students are interested in ROTC or have additional questions, they may contact the UI Department of Military Science. There are many options for involvement on campus, and ROTC is an opportunity to benefit students for their college careers as well as their futures.

Get political in the first-in-the-nation caucus state The University of Iowa has student organizations for students interested in politics of different parties and ideologies.
Katina Zentz/The Daily Iowan Members of College Republicans take their seats to watch the State of the Union Address on Jan. 30, 2018 at the Pappajohn Business Building. President Trump discussed events that occurred throughout his first year of presidency.
Shivansh Ahuja/The Daily Iowan Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., speaks during a presidential campaign rally in the IMU on Feb. 10. Warren formally announced her bid for the White House the previous day at a rally in Lawrence, Mass.
Iowa is home to the first caucuses in the presidential-election season. Presidential candidates flood the state, hopping from city to city on the campaign trail. Needless to say, University of Iowa students are politically active. The UI is home to three political organizations that are associated with major political parties: the University Democrats, the College Republicans, and the Young Democratic Socialists at Iowa. The organizations meet several times a semester, usually on a weekly basis. The political groups here give students the opportunity to be come active citizens. Though the organizations are associated with political parties, people from different political backgrounds are invited to join in the name of education.
The University Democrats are dedicated to ensuring the victories of Democratic candidates in Iowa and beyond. On campus, the group helps to organize candidate visits, voter-registration events, fundraisers, and educational opportunities. The College Republicans is a student organization devoted to spreading Republican ideas across campus. The group works to further the party’s agenda and promote student leadership. The Young Democratic Socialists at Iowa strives to promote racial, gender, economic, and environmental equity on campus.

Living away from campus For students wanting a change of pace from residence-hall life, there are off-campus housing options.
Grace Colton/The Daily Iowan An apartment complex on Burlington and Gilbert Streets is seen on March 29.
On-campus living isn’t for everyone. For students wishing to get out of the residence halls, off-campus living is available. Starting the apartment search early is recommended. Though the housing market is limited in Iowa City, students can find just what they are looking for if they allot plenty of time to search. For students planning on living with roommates who don’t have any yet, social-media sites such as Facebook and Reddit are perfect places to start. Often, apartment companies also have roommate searches on their websites.
The next step is the search. It is generally more expensive to live closer to campus, but often the convenience seems invaluable. However, the farther away from campus the apartment is, the cheaper it is likely to be, and it might offer more amenities. The University of Iowa offers an off-campus housing search on which students can view listings of apartments and houses throughout the city. Student Legal Services in the IMU can answer questions about leases, landlords, and rentals — all for free.

A quick guide to UI Intramurals
The University of Iowa offers several intramural sports during both the fall and spring semesters. The University of Iowa offers a wide variety of intramural activities for students. For students looking for the opportunity to showcase their athletic abilities, intramural sports are the perfect destination. Intramural sports provide the chance for UI students who are not involved in college athletics to get out on the playing fields or courts. From flag football and 3-on-3 basketball to inner tube water polo and canoe battleship, there are activities to fit the interests of many. Intramural options are available in both the fall and spring semesters. To get involved, students simply need to purchase an Intramural Sports Membership, which can
be done on the Recreational Services website. Memberships are available for $25 each semester or $45 for a yearlong membership. Purchasing a membership gives students access to all of the intramural sports offered that semester. A membership is recommended for students planning to play in more than one sport, play in a league sport, or participate in a multi-day tournament. Single-play passes are also available for certain activities for $10, with an option available to upgrade to a full membership at the end of that day. Valid UI IDs are necessary to compete in any given sport. They will be checked prior to the beginning of events.

Best spots to work out on campus
Between the Campus Rec, Field House, and Fitness East, there are plenty of places to exercise at the University of Iowa. Campus Recreation & Wellness Center Located in proximity to the Main Library, the Campus Recreation & Wellness Center is undoubtedly the biggest fitness center on campus. It has basketball courts, a lazy river, a pool, a climbing-rock station, sauna and steam rooms, training rooms as well as a three-level gym from dumbbells to cardio machines for all fitness needs. Because of all the great amenities the center provides, it’s no surprise that it can get a bit busy, especially during the mid-afternoon and weekdays. The spot is probably best for a great workout for any muscle type during the mornings or late evenings.
Field House Ryan Adams/The Daily Iowan The Campus Recreation & Wellness Center is seen on April 18.
Located near Petersen, Rienow, and Slater, the Field House is the perfect fit-
ness center for people who live on the West Side. It has a nice workout room with numerous bench racks and dumbbells Additionally, it is the place to go for basketball and badminton. It has more than 12 basketball courts for all indoor sports needs.
Fitness East A more basic fitness center across the street from the IMU, Fitness East is the perfect low-key spot for anyone looking to get a quick workout without waiting. Never is there a time when this fitness center is overly packed, allowing people to get in and out during just about any time of day. However, the only downfall is that is closes at 7 p.m. Campus Rec shutters at midnight and the Field House at 10:30 p.m.

Iowa basketball boomin’ in Carver Women turn to life after Gustafson The Hawkeye women’s basketball team had one of its best seasons in program history in the 2018-19 season. Iowa went further than it has ever gone in head coach Lisa Bluder’s tenure, winning a Sweet 16 matchup against North Carolina State to make an Elite Eight appearance. Both Bluder and star player Megan Gustafson earned the Naismith Coach and Player of the Year trophies, and Gustafson earned several other Player of the Year awards as well. While Iowa will lose Gustafson — the best player in program history — along with Tania Davis and Hannah Stewart, the Hawkeyes should see more meaningful action from a few of last year’s juniors. Kathleen Doyle and Makenzie Meyer will play big roles. Both showed significant growth from their sophomore seasons, and without Gustafson taking the main portion of points, both should see some significant increases in production. Filling out the three spots of the Hawkeye seniors will be the difficult part. Monika Czinano saw some solid playing time as a freshman and will be the prime contender to take over Gustafson’s post spot. Senior Amanda Ollinger might vie for Stewart’s empty spot, and redshirt freshman Kate Martin, who missed all of last season with a torn ACL, could be a top competitor for Davis’ open position. Next season probably won’t end in the thrilling fashion Iowa’s last one did, but Bluder always seems to get the best out of her team no matter the talent level, and this upcoming season should be no different.
Men’s hoops aims for another tourney run The Iowa men’s basketball team defied expectations. Coming off a 14-19 campaign in 2017-18, Iowa knew it had to fix its once-atrocious defense and find offensive consistency. It did just that. The Hawkeyes churned out a 23-12 record, finishing sixth in the regular-season Big Ten standings and spending a good chunk of the season in the top25, and even went dancing in Columbus, Ohio. There, Iowa bested Cincinnati in the round of 64 before falling in overtime to Tennessee, 83-77 — just one victory short of a Sweet 16 berth. Iowa’s core of Jordan Bohannon, Joe Wieskamp, and Luka Garza will return, as well as the majority of the Hawkeye bench rotation. Tyler Cook announced he would leave the program and test his luck in the NBA Draft. He has been one of the conference’s top forwards during his three years with the program. Nicholas Baer’s five-year Hawkeye career has come to an end, and he will definitely be missed. He finished his tenure as the only Hawkeye in program history to have more than 750 points, 500 rebounds, 100 blocks, 100 assists, 100 steals, and 100 3-pointers in a career. It’ll be interesting to see what Iowa’s rotation looks like next season, but head coach Fran McCaffery might have one of his deepest squads yet. Not only do the Hawkeyes get Cordell Pemsl and Jack Nunge back from redshirt seasons, but C.J. Fredrick will see his first action on the court after doing the same. Meanwhile, incoming freshmen Patrick McCaffery and Joe Toussaint enter the program. McCaffery (listed as ESPN’s 60thbest prospect in the nation) adds another scoring dimension along the wing, and Toussaint (four-star point guard) boasts a slashing, facilitating game.

Iowa football leans on Stanley, Epenesa After losing its two top pass-catchers and a slew of talent on the defensive line, Iowa will rely on its proven talent.
Nick Rohlman/The Daily Iowan Iowa defensive lineman A.J. Epenesa returns a fumble for a touchdown during Iowa’s game against Illinois at Memorial Stadium in Champaign on Nov. 17, 2018. The Hawkeyes defeated the Fighting Illini, 63-0. Iowa football finished 9-4, cranking out its fourth season in a row with at least 8 victories. Iowa capped the season with a 27-22 win over No. 18 Mississippi State in the 2019 Outback Bowl, and it also had wins over rivals Iowa State, Minnesota, and Nebraska during the regular season. The Hawkeye defense allowed just 17.8 points per game (11th in the country) and on the offensive side, it scored 36 or more points on five occasions, including a season-high 63 in a shutout win over Illinois.
Quarterback Nate Stanley had a breakout season, throwing for 2,852 yards and 26 touchdowns. Defensively, Iowa’s Amani Hooker earned the Tatum-Woodson Award, given to the Big Ten’s best defensive back. Stanley and running back Mekhi Sargent head the offensive playmakers returning, and offensive linemen Tristan Wirfs and Alaric Jackson will hold the two tackle positions. On the other side of the ball, defensive end A.J. Epenesa is arguably the conference’s best lineman.
Losing both tight ends in Noah Fant and T.J. Hockenson will hurt, but Iowa boasts a reliable history of plugging in and playing guys at the position. Hooker, Anthony Nelson, Nick Easley, Matt Nelson, Ross Reynolds, and Keegan Render will all leave sizable holes to fill as well. Iowa’s regular-season schedule is tougher this season. The Hawkeyes make trips to Iowa State, Michigan, Northwestern, Wisconsin, and Nebraska while hosting Penn State, Minnesota, Rutgers, Purdue, and Illinois.

Wrestling continues climb to top After going undefeated in its Big Ten duals, Iowa wrestling will attempt to keep improving on the national level. The Iowa wrestling team went 14-1 during the regular-season dual meets, undefeated in the Big Ten, with its only loss coming at the hands Oklahoma State in Stillwater. The Hawkeyes finished third at the Big Ten Championships, crowning a lone champion in 165-pounder Alex Marinelli. He went undefeated the whole season up until the NCAAs, where he placed seventh. At the national tournament, Iowa placed fourth, and Spencer Lee successfully defended his 125-pound title. Lee went 23-3 and placed second at both the Midlands and Big Ten Championships, falling to Sebastian Rivera in both of those finals before bouncing back in the season’s biggest tournament. Another Hawkeye to watch will be Austin De-
Santo. In his first year as a Hawkeye, he earned the 133-pound Midlands title, placed fifth at NCAAs, and notched numerous upset victories throughout the season. Mitch Bowman and Sam Stoll are the only Hawkeyes in last season’s starting lineup who will not appear in 2019-20. Among the eight returners, six were All-Americans: Lee, DeSanto, Pat Lugo, Kaleb Young, Marinelli, and Jacob Warner. In addition, All-American Michael Kemerer, who had to sit out last season because of an injury, will be back for the 2019-20 season. With seven returning All-Americans and a twotime national champion in the lineup, the Iowa wrestling squad has the potential to reach great heights Iowa’s 125-pound Spencer Lee wrestles Virginia’s Jack Mueller during the final session of the 2019 NCAAs. next season.

Gymnastics rises to the competition
With a lot of returning talent, Hawkeye gymnastics has the potential to do damage next season. Both the men’s gymnastics team – coached by JD Reive – and the women’s team – coached by Larissa Libby – shot for success during the 2018-19 season. The men’s team took the championship medal at five meets last season, as well as a share of the regular-season Big Ten title and a Coaching Staff of the Year honor. Highlights from the season include eight athletes advancing to the final round of the NCAA Championships, three earning All-American honors, and two in the final round of the Winter Cup Challenge. Individually, Andrew Herrador took second place on the high bar, and Stewart Brown took third place on vault at the Big Ten Championships. Evan Shivansh Ahuja/The Daily Iowan Davis scored Big Ten Freshman of the Iowa’s Charlotte Sullivan competes on beam during a women’s gymnastics meet between Iowa and Week after his performance at the WinIowa State at Carver-Hawkeye Arena on March 1. Sullivan scored 9.750 in the event.
ter Cup. The women’s team finished its intense season with a fourth place secured at the NCAA regional. Before doing that, the team finished sixth at the Big Ten Championships and took numerous individual honors. Senior Nicole Chow and junior Charlotte Sullivan were named to the 2019 Big Ten Women’s Gymnasts to Watch list. The GymHawks also topped 196 points throughout the majority of the season. Notable departures include GymHawks Chow and Misty-Jade Carlson and Jake Brodarzon on the men’s squad. Bennet Huang, Herrador, and Davis will return next season. Jax Kranitz, Clair Kaji, Lauren Guerin, and Alex Greenwald will return for the women.

Volleyball sets sights on NCAA success The Hawkeyes have struggled when it comes to making the postseason, but they’re looking to change that in 2019. Iowa volleyball hasn’t made an appearance in the NCAA Tournament in 25 seasons, and changing that will certainly be the coaches’ and players’ intention this fall. There’s a lot of growing excitement in the volleyball program. Head coach Bond Shymansky has built the team to its strongest point since the 1990s, leading Iowa to some of its best finishes in the 21st century. Building on the excitement Shymansky has constructed, the Athletics Department is in the midst of building a new $190 million home for Iowa volleyball, which is set to open in 2020. But for now, the focus is on this season. It looked as though the team was about to break the postseason streak after it took down No. 10 Wisconsin at David Harmantas/The Daily Iowan home on Oct. 6, 2018, but a flurry of Iowa’s Cali Hoye tries to spike the ball during a volleyball match against Wisconsin on Oct. 6, 2018.
injuries made for an agonizing crawl to the end of the season. It doesn’t help that the team lost some of its highest producers to graduation last season; hitter Taylor Louis and Molly Kelly — both of whom paced the conference in various stats – have departed the team. But there are some bright spots that could help the program reach a postseason berth. Despite injuries, now-senior Cali Hoye proved to be a dominant hitter on the court. The middle section of the net was young for the team last season, with freshmen Hannah Clayton and Amiya Jones starting. Youth is turning into experience for the blockers and several hitting positions, so this could be the year the team gets it done.
Iowa soccer gearing up to reach goals Multiple Hawkeye scorers are set to return, which will help them improve on what turned out to be a decent 2018 campaign. Iowa soccer posted an average season in 2018, going 8-7-3, but it could be in for a big year in 2019. The Hawkeyes return six of their top seven scorers from last season, including Natalie Winters and Devin Burns. Winters led the team with 5 goals in 2018, adding 3 assists to that total, which was also tied for the team lead. Burns will also play a big role moving forward. She led the team with 9 goals in 5 assists in 2017, but injuries forced her to miss a good chunk of the 2018 season. Burns only played in 13 games with six starts last season. Still, she managed to net 2 goals and an assist in her limited playing time. Kaleigh Haus — who scored 4 goals last season
— returns as well, but the losses of forward Rose Ripslinger and defender Morgan Kemrling won’t help. Iowa found plenty of success playing at the Iowa Soccer Complex, sporting a 7-03 record in games at home, but it will need to improve its performance on the road. In games away from Iowa City, the Hawkeyes went 1-7. Iowa opened its schedule with a 4-0-1 record, showcasing what it can do early in the season. It did something similar in the spring as well. Loaded with talent in its spring schedule, Iowa went 7-0, showing what it is capable of. The potential for success is there. Hawkeye head coach Dave DiIanni and Company could be in for a big season in 2019.

High hopes for Hellerball next season
After posting its sixth 30-win season in a row, Iowa baseball will focus on increasing that mark. Plenty of questions surrounded the Iowa baseball squad entering the 2019 season. After all, it had lost its two best hitters, best starting pitcher, and best reliever from the season before. But with head coach Rick Heller at the helm, the Hawkeyes never strayed far from the top of the conference standings. Southeastern Community College transfer Austin Martin stepped up in an important way in his first year with the Black and Gold, and fellow newcomer Izaya Fullard posted some impressive numbers as well. Despite an injury to Saturday starting pitcher Jack Dreyer, which sidelined him for the majority of the season, Iowa’s weekend rotation
of Cole McDonald, Cam Baumann, and Grant Judkins answered the questions entering the season. The Hawkeyes played their best baseball of the season when they got into the thick of the Big Ten schedule. After being swept by Indiana to open the conference slate, Iowa ripped off six-consecutive Big Ten series victories. The Hawkeyes will lose McDonald on the mound, as well as middle infielders Mitchell Boe and Tanner Wetrich. Chris Whelan, who has been one of Iowa’s key leaders in recent years, will also graduate. While the senior losses will certainly leave a void, especially in the field, the Hawkeyes’ new core should set them up for future success.

Iowa softball ready to bounce back Iowa softball slipped into the No. 12 seed at the Big Ten Tournament, but it wants to do more next season.
Jenna Galligan/The Daily Iowan Iowa pitcher Allison Doocy throws a pitch during a doubleheader against Illinois on April 13.
Under the tutelage of coach Gayle Blevins, Hawkeye softball was nearly unbeatable in the late-1990s and early 2000s. After her retirement, Iowa suffered some turbulent seasons with underwhelming records. But last season, Iowa native Renee Gillispie took the helm of Iowa softball and rearmed the program with newly found enthusiasm last year. Only two seniors had spots on last season’s roster, and some of the team’s best talent will return to Pearl Field in the coming season, so more wins can be expected. Now a senior, pitcher Allison Doocy will continue to be one of the most commanding arms in the Big Ten. The right-hander had a coming-out party in her sophomore season, recording the fourth-lowest ERA in the conference.
Along with that, she recorded some of the most innings pitched in the conference in her junior season, proving her competence and dominance in the circle. Rounding out the lineup card for Gillispie last season was transfer DoniRae Mayhew, who transferred from Kirkwood and started her Division-1 career as a junior at Iowa. The now-senior led the team in several hitting categories for much of the season, showing prowess at the plate with both consistency and power. The road to a rebuilt program is a long one for Gillispie and her squad, but last season was a big steppingstone in the right direction. This coming season, fans can expect more wins and excitement at Pearl Field.

Mylenek will lead the cross-country pack in 2019.
Track Hawks are looking to add to their Big Ten success.
After advancing to the NCAA finals last season, Nathan Mylenek wants to keep the success coming. Iowa cross-country has made huge strides over the past couple of years. Both the men’s and women’s squads had their best finishes to the season in years. The men’s team finished in sixth place at the 2018 Big Ten meet, its best finish since 2009. The women also had success at Big Tens, coming in ninth in the 6,000 meters, their highest finish since 2011. Some of the catalysts behind that success will be lost to graduation heading into next season, which will be tough for the Hawkeyes. Daniel Soto will be a key loss for the men’s squad. He led the team in the first three races of the 2018 sea-
Iowa track and field will attempt to continue to build off its past success after an impressive 2018-19 season. The 2018-19 track and field season was one to remember for Iowa. The indoor campaign ended with the men’s and women’s squads combining for 14 All-American honors and 11 Big Ten titles. The highlight of the outdoor season was the Big Ten Outdoor Championships, which was hosted by the Hawkeyes at the Cretzmeyer track. Heading into next season, Iowa will lose a few key contributors to graduation but will maintain a very talented group at the same time. Mar’Yea Harris and Brianna Guillory were some of the most accomplished sprinters in program
son and finished strong with a career-best in the 8,000 meters at the Big Ten meet. Andrea Shine led the women in the 6,000 meters in her senior season, placing 15th overall at the Big Ten Championships. Despite losing some of its key performers who have paced the program for a long time, Iowa cross-country should still be in a position to succeed heading into the 2019 season, with Mylenek leading the way. He finished 11th in the 8,000 meters at Big Ten Championships, earning All-Big Ten honors. He then finished third at the NCAA regional and became the first Hawkeye to advance to the NCAA finals since 2011. In 2019, Mylenek will want to improve on his already impressive career and finish even higher.

history in their time here. Their Hawkeye careers ended at the conclusion of the 2019 season. Leading Iowa into the new season will be Laulauga Tausaga, an All-American thrower who is among the best in the country. Coming off a season in which she broke school records in all three women’s throwing events and was named Regional Field Athlete of the Year, Tausaga will try to keep adding to her illustrious Hawkeye résumé in her senior season. Also returning for the Hawkeyes will be Jaylan McConico and Jenny Kimbro, both of whom became Big Ten champions in the indoor 60-meter hurdles. With plenty of talent returning, Iowa boasts plenty of potential heading into the new season.

Iowa rowing the boat nationally
The Hawkeyes — especially their 1 Varsity 8 boat — have become a squad to watch in the conference. The Iowa rowing team faced numerous weather problems last season, ranging from canceled events to not being able to be in the boathouse from September to mid-April. Nonetheless, the team had some success, most of it coming from the 1 Varsity 8 boat. The boat comprises Contessa Harold, Hunter Koenigsfeld, Hannah Greenlee, Eve Stewart, Naomi Visser, Katie Pearson, Elena Waiglein, Paige Schlapkohl, and coxswain Logan Jones. The latter two — Schlaokohl and Jones — were the seniors of the crew. But the Hawkeyes will still have two All-Americans — Harold and Koenigsfeld — to lead the boat to victory. These two, along with Greenlee, have been in-
vited to the U23 national team camp, where they will try to snag a spot on the national team and compete in the 2019 World Rowing Under 23 Championships. As the team uses the knowledge of its experienced and talented rowers, it will also hope for improvement among the newcomers. The Iowa rowing squad has found ways to utilize homegrown athletes despite the state’s high schools not offering rowing. The Hawkeyes also boast plenty of international talent, however, with eight athletes coming from countries outsude of the United States. After a solid performance all season, the Hawkeyes will try to improve at the Big Ten Championships in Michael Guhin/The Daily Iowan 2020. Iowa’s second varsity crew rows back after losing to Wisconsin by 6.07 seconds in the first session of a women’s rowing meet on Lake MacBride on April 13.
Hawkeye golf set for solid season With Big Ten Golfer of the Year Alex Schaake returning for another season, Iowa is primed for success. Hawkeye men’s golf had one of its better seasons in a while, securing five top-five finishes this past spring. The three standouts were Matthew Walker, Alex Schaake, and Benton Weinberg. All three of their best performances came in the Hawkeye Invitational in which Walker and Schaake tied as champions with overall scores of 14-under. Weinberg finished tied for third at 10-under. Schaake was by far the most impressive golfer, finishing with two other top-five finishes in addition to the Hawkeye Invitational. He will be back next season for what will likely be another solid campaign. Walker, however, will graduate. He also had several top-10 finishes this past season, and he will hang up his clubs after an incredibly consistent Hawkeye career. Ben Allan Smith/The Daily Iowan Sophomore Joe Kim will try to make bigIowa golf’s Alex Schaake poses for a portrait at Hoak Family Golf Complex on April 24, 2018.
ger contributions to next season’s team as will Weinberg, who will be a senior along with Schaake. The women had to start last season after losing one of their premier golfers in Jessica Ip. The Hawkeyes started off slowly but reached their high point at the Diane Thomason Invitational — they came out on top. Shawn Rennegarbe won a share of the individual title (5-over), and Manuela Lizarazu and Kristin Glesne finished third and fourth. The future is bright for the Hawkeye women — they will return Stephanie Herzog, Sophie Liu, Sarah Overton, and Lizarazu, all of whom played significant roles last season. Iowa, however, will miss the leadership of Rennegarbe, who will graduate after two extremely productive years with the team.

Tennis looking to net strong finishes
The Hawkeye men and women both fell short of the NCAA Tournament last season, and they want to change that. The Iowa women’s tennis team concluded its season at 12-11, 4-7 in the Big Ten. The Hawkeyes are set to lose only its lone senior, Adorabol Huckleby. In her final season, she was in and out of the lineup, starting mostly at the lower spots in both singles and doubles. As for the returners, this past years’ team was young and inexperienced with five newcomers. Junior Elise van Huevelen Treadwell led the team at Nos. 1 and 2 in singles and doubles all season. However, newcomers Ashleigh Jacobs and Sophie Clark did the most damage. Between Nos. 3 and 4, Jacobs led the team with the best record, going 126, and Clark was right behind her at 11-8. Overall, this season was far from a disappointment because the incoming Hawkeyes showed they can be competitive against Shivansh Ahuja/The Daily Iowan any team. Their best victory came against Iowa’s Kareem Allaf hits a backhand during a men’s tennis match between Iowa and Michigan at Indiana, 4-3, on March 31. As this team progresses, it will be more competitive as the HTRC on April 21.
its underclassmen gain more experience. The Iowa men’s tennis team concluded its season 17-9, 6-5 in the Big Ten. The Hawkeyes secured its third winning season in the last five years, mainly because of its strong 14-2 home record. However, Iowa will lose one of its main contributors in lone senior Jonas Larsen. He concluded his season 9-12 in top-spot singles and 15-8 in top-two doubles play. Freshmen Oliver Okonkwo and Nikita Snezhko contributed a great deal to Iowa’s success. Okonkwo put up a 15-6 doubles record with sophomore Will Davies at Nos. 1 and 2 and added an 18-7 record in singles, including a victory over No. 1 Ohio State in singles. Now-senior Kareem Allaf will try to improve on his new program-best 14 home victories because the Hawkeyes return five starters from last season and seek to become one of the top teams in the Big Ten.
Iowa field hockey set to score big With their young talent continually gaining experience, the Hawkeyes want to make a move in the Big Ten.
Despite losing in its first match of the tournament last season, the Iowa field-hockey team qualified for the NCAA tourney for the first time since 2012. The Hawkeyes went 14-7, winning the most games they’ve won in a season since 2011. Iowa notched six wins over top-25 opponents, topping No. 14 Wake Forest, No. 25 California, No. 23 Ohio State, No. 21 Stanford, No. 6/7 Penn State, and No. 7 Michigan. The Hawkeyes had success behind All-Americans Maddy Murphy and Katie Birch. Murphy was Iowa’s leading scorer (13), and Birch led the team in assists (10). Murphy and Birch played huge roles for the Hawkeyes offensively. Defensively, the Hawkeyes turned to Anthe
Nijziel, Isabella Brown, Lokke Stribos, and goalkeeper Leslie Speight. Speight led the Big Ten in shutouts with seven. In 21 games, only 23 goals were scored on Iowa, giving it the sixth-best goalsagainst average in the nation. Iowa will return nine of 11 starters — Makenna Grewe and Brown graduated. Goalkeeper Grace McGuire — who was Iowa’s original starting keeper last season — did not play because of an injury, but she will be back next season. The squad placed second at the Big Ten Tournament, becoming the first ever No. 6 seed to advance to the championship game. The Hawkeyes will try to top the conference this coming season with their David Harmantas/The Daily Iowan returning talent.

Iowa making waves in the Big Ten UI men and women’s swimming and diving set the bar higher going in the upcoming season. Iowa men’s swimming and diving hosted the Big Ten Championships in the Campus Recreation & Wellness Center last season, but the team didn’t bring home much hardware despite numerous accolades. This season, both the men and the women have goals set higher, and this will, they hope, bring home much-desired conference crowns. Many individual performances warrant a lot of excitement for the squad, including some young members of the team who should keep it strong for several years. To start, all of Iowa’s divers wiggled their way into the NCAA Zone D Diving Championships last season. Of the nine Hawkeye divers to make the trip,
only two of them were graduating seniors; on the men’s side, Anton Hoherz and Jonathan Posligua will return, along with Jayah Mathews, Thelma Strandberg, Sam Tamborski, Jolynn Harris, and Claire Park on the women’s side. Iowa was dominant in many events on the swimming side all season, paving the way for some solid finishes. Dominance in the freestyle events occurred all season; the men’s team had at least one swimmer with NCAA qualifying times in every event but the 200 individual medley and the 100 fly. Depth certainly applies to both teams, and this is what they will bank on heading into this season.
The hubs for Hawkeye sports Kinnick Stadium and Carver-Hawkeye Arena are home to a multitude of Hawkeye sports throughout the year.

Kinnick Stadium is the crown jewel of the University of Iowa. Every Saturday in the fall, the stands will be packed with around 69,000 fans anxiously awaiting “Back in Black” to come on the PA system. Kinnick served as a relatively safe space for the Iowa football squad last season. The Hawkeyes posted a 5-2 record in the friendly confines of Kinnick, compared with a 3-2 record on the road. The stadium is also home to one of the best traditions in college football: the Kinnick Wave. Fans, players, coaches, and referees turn around at the end of the first quarter of each game to wave to the children in the UI Stead Family Children’s Hospital, whose top floors overlook the stadium. In addition to the relatively new tradition, Kinnick has become a difficult place for ranked teams to come in and escape with a win. The Hawkeyes are 4-1 against top-five opponents since 2008, with two of those victories occurring in the past three seasons. Kinnick will look different in 2019 as well. As part of the north end zone renovation, it will have a new concourse, Jumbotron, restrooms, concession stands, and premium seats. Iowa will face Miami (Ohio), Rutgers, Middle Tennessee State, Penn State, Purdue, Minnesota, and Illinois at home as it tries to keep its hot stretch at Kinnick going. Kinnick Stadium certainly deserves
all the praise for being the most important place on campus for Iowa fans in the fall. When the Iowa temperatures inevitably drop, the sanctuary for Hawkeye fans goes down the road to Carver-Hawkeye Arena. The facility opened in early 1983 and is now the home of men’s and women’s basketball, wrestling, volleyball, and gymnastics. Last year, Carver was rocking during several home basketball games for both the men’s and women’s squads. It was also the home to the first two rounds of the NCAA Tournament for the Hawkeye women in which Carver-Hawkeye broke the record for the most attended venue in the first two rounds of the NCAA Women’s Tournament. Wrestling has also seen its fair share of sellouts. After all, the state of Iowa loves its wrestling. Carver-Hawkeye is more versatile than existing as just a sporting venue. It has been home to famed musical artists such as Whitney Houston, Metallica, Guns ’N’ Roses, and Old Dominion. It has also hosted former Presidents Bill Clinton and Jimmy Carter and was home to World Wrestling Entertainment events from 2011-13. Also the site for some graduation ceremonies, Carver-Hawkeye is an integral part of the UI campus.
