Regent's Day at the Capitol

UNI students with UNI Alum and State Senator Jeff Danielson

Following the tradition of student governments of the past the three Regent university student governments held their annual Regent's Day at the Capitol event. Over 75 students from UNI, Iowa State, and Iowa packed the rotunda of the Capitol lobbying the legislature on the importance of fully funding the state schools.

The approach of going to the Capitol combined with the grassroots effort of attending legislative forums and writing emails will surely have an impact on the Regent's budget this session. Thanks to all the students who attended and we look forward to having you back at the Capitol soon!
