Welcome to a new academic year at The University of Iowa! I am excited to count myself as a newcomer, just like many of you, and I am thrilled to begin serving as your new President.

Also like many of you, I am finding my way around town and campus, meeting many wonderful new people, and looking forward to a lot of new challenges and opportunities. Iowa is a remarkable institution with great traditions and a steady eye on the future. You are an important part of what lies before us, and I can’t wait for the great year to come.

In my short time here so far, I have been struck by the welcoming nature of the UI community. And that’s what Welcome Week is all about—we want you to know that we’re glad you’re here, to make new friends, to learn Iowa traditions, to have fun, and to enjoy the community that is uniquely Iowa. We thank our contributing sponsors for their support of this opening celebration.

Once again, welcome to a new year at Iowa, and I look forward to becoming a devoted Hawkeye just like you!

Go Hawks!

Sally Mason
President
