College of Business Alumni and Friends,

In 2026, the University of Northern Iowa will celebrate its 150th anniversary. While we certainly have taken the time to reflect on the past, this special celebration has also encouraged us to look toward the future. A common theme continues to pop up – what does the world need from UNI tomorrow? This question has prompted a number of changes on campus, including a new brand, adjusted general education curriculum and new academic programs.

This has truly been an exciting year for UNI! During Homecoming, we publicly launched the Our Tomorrow campaign announcing an ambitious goal of raising $250 million dollars by 2026, which coincides with our sesquicentennial festivities. We have already secured over $200 million through gifts and pledges, an amazing feat that was only achieved with the overwhelming support from supporters like you. This campaign focuses on four main pillars, including student access and success, engaged learning, academic programs and faculty and iconic spaces.

To all the alumni and friends who have supported UNI and the business college over the past year, thank you for your generosity and desire to impact our students. For those interested in learning more about this campaign and some of the initiatives specific to the College of Business, please contact one of us and we would be happy to provide you with more information. For nearly 150 years, UNI has educated and prepared students for successful careers around the world. Through your investment in the Our Tomorrow campaign, you help ensure we continue to prepare students to be #readyforbusiness.

Go Panthers!
