What is your favorite memory from the University of Iowa? My favorite memory from the University of Iowa would have to be my very first family weekend. I am very close to my family, so going for a couple of months at the beginning of my Freshman year without them was very challenging. I remember the moment that I saw my parents and my brother for the first time, and the excitement and peace that I felt finally having them there with me. I got to “show off” Iowa to my favorite people, and I got to introduce them to all of the traditions and people that make our school so amazing. From seeing my brother tear up during his first “wave,” to grabbing grilled cheese at Marco’s as our first family dinner in 2 months, I loved the pride that I felt representing our university to my family!
