Message from your Alumni Association President
” I graduated from UIU-Cedar Rapids Center in 2016 with my bachelor’s degree in business management and again in 2018; this time online with my Master of Business Administration. I meet Peacock alumni everywhere I go and am amazed at the number of people who have attended UIU.
With this past year being a pandemic year, a lot of classes, events, and activities went virtual. As we start to transition back to a new normal of being face-to-face, we will use a combination approach since we experienced a lot of success with our virtual offerings.
The board is comprised of 24 alums who volunteer their time and abilities to help expand Upper Iowa awareness, encourage alumni participation in UIU activities, generate fundraising dollars, and support the professional development and success of UIU graduates.
We cannot do this alone. We need your insight, help and expertise to continue connecting with alumni and growing our Peacock family.”
Sincerely,
Danny John ’16, ’18
