Welcome to the Panther Connection Blog,

 

This blog has everything you need to know about living on campus at the University of Northern Iowa. There are few main groups that will be spotlighted through this blog: RA's, RLC's, PAIRs, Student Senate, and Residence Hall Association. All of these groups work to make living in the halls an enjoyable and memorable experience. Every week I will work to update this blog about all the great things these groups are doing from programs in the hall to special things you may need to be aware of.

 

I hope you will join me for this journey and check back often for all the new happenings in your hall! 

 

Go Panthers,

The Panther Connection
