150th Celebration
The University of Northern Iowa is preparing for its sesquicentennial celebration - commemorating 150 years of transformation and impact.
From our beginnings as a Soldiers’ Orphan Home to the Iowa State Normal School, becoming the Iowa State Teachers College, beginning a storied legacy of preparing future educators, the State College of Iowa, and finally becoming the University of Northern Iowa.

This milestone reaches beyond the boundaries of our campus, reflecting UNI’s commitment to preparing tomorrow’s leaders and innovating programs that meet the needs of Iowa, the nation and the world.
