Open January 18 – July 1, 2022<\/h3>\n

This exhibit celebrates students at the University of Iowa, recognizing student life as the very core of the university. It offers a sampling of historical documents and objects found in the University Archives<\/a> and the Iowa Women’s Archives<\/a> at the University of Iowa Libraries.<\/p>\n

Popular aspects of the student experience are depicted:<\/p>\n

Academics, athletics, activism. Protest, public service, parties.<\/em><\/p>\n

On display are snippets of student life from throughout the university’s history: the Iowa Memorial Union as a center of activity, the performing arts as a source of vibrancy, and military service and Greek life as time-honored traditions. Decades of student publications and glimpses of social and political activism are seen throughout, demonstrating the diversity of student voices on campus.<\/p>\n

While not every student\u2019s experience is recounted in this exhibit, we hope visitors to the Main Library Gallery will find something that speaks to their own time on campus – whether during this past year, or generations ago.<\/p>\n
