Years ago, while receiving cancer treatment at University of Iowa Health Care Stead Family Children's Hospital a young patient dreamed of one day working for NASA.

Today, he's living that dream.

From aboard the International Space Station, the NASA astronaut recently spoke with current patients, sharing stories about life in space and encouraging them to keep reaching for their own goals. 🚀✨

Juneteenth marks June 19, 1865 — the day enslaved people in Galveston, Texas, learned they were free, more than two years after the Emancipation Proclamation. Today we honor that history and the promise of freedom it represents for all Americans.

221 special education teaching jobs sit unfilled across Iowa — more than science and math combined. This fall, the The University of Iowa College of Education is helping change that with a new Bachelor of Arts in Special Education, training the next generation of teachers for Iowa classrooms. 🖤💛

For more than 100 years, Halsey Hall has been home to dance at Iowa. Thousands of Hawkeyes have danced across the building's studios, and now, the University of Iowa Department of Dance says good-bye and thank you to its first home before moving across the river.
