CREATIVITY | COMMUNITY | EXCELLENCE | INCLUSION | INTEGRITY
Iowans come from different communities and have diverse life experiences, making every citizen of the state and the country unique. Learning how to listen, understand, and communicate with others who do not share a similar background or worldview are skill sets that must be acquired. It is the responsibility of the University of Iowa to provide our students, through our faculty and staff, the skills required to lead in a globally diverse society and workforce.
