2011-12 SEASON PREVIEW

IOWA WOMEN’S GOLF University of Iowa head women’s golf coach Megan Menzel enters her first year at the helm of the Hawkeyes in 2011-12. While the Hawkeyes struggled last season, the cupboard is not bare. Menzel takes over a team that returns five letterwinners and welcomes a three-member recruiting class that includes two nationally-ranked players. “I think the talent level is strong,” said Menzel. “I’m always a little weary of the word talent. I think it has to be backed up by hard work and making sure we’re dedicated to the team goals. I’m really seeing that. They’re all working really hard and bringing a lot of leadership.”

season at University High School. Phillips was tabbed the No. 2 player in Arizona and 56th best prospect in the country after winning five of the nine high school events she entered in 2010 at Highland High School in Gilbert, Ariz. “We expect them to come in and contribute right away,” Menzel said. “They bring in a ton of enthusiasm and competitiveness. They’re showing that their ready to get out there and compete.” The Hawkeyes third freshman, St. Charles, Ill., native Nicole Rae, was a three-time all-conference selection and finished with the second-best scoring average in school history at East High School.

Headlining the returners is senior Chelsea Harris and junior Kristi Cardwell. The pair split the team lead for scoring average in 201011, posting a 77.1 average over 30 rounds. Harris and Cardwell also teamed during the summer to shoot a nine-under 279 and take fourth at the 2011 Hooters Women’s Collegiate Team Championships. Having players such as Harris and Cardwell return will make life easier on the Hawkeyes’ new head coach. “It really builds a lot of confidence,” Menzel said. “I would go off of what they did this summer. Chelsea and Kristi really had a great performance at the Hooters Collegiate Team Championship. They’re coming in with a lot of good experience and confidence. “ Iowa also returns a third upperclassman in junior Gigi DiGrazia. The Addison, Ill., native, was an academic All-Big Ten selection and was honored by the Big Ten as a Distinguished Scholar a season ago after maintaining a perfect 4.0 grade point average in integrative physiology. On the golf course, she competed in 19 rounds and set career-best 18-, 36and 54-hole scores.

“Nicole is a great kid and a really hard worker,” Menzel said. “She will continue to get better. I think she’ll be a great contributor, a great student and will really bring a lot to our team.” Iowa opens its spring season in Victoria, Texas, at the Claud Jacobs Challenge on Feb. 19-20. The Hawkeyes will play at the Westbrook Spring Invitational in Peoria, Ariz., on Feb. 27-28, before traveling to Oahu, Hawaii, on March 13-14, to compete in the Dr. Donnis Thompson Invitational. Iowa returns to the Midwest to compete in the Saluki Invitational in Carbondale, Ill., on March 25-26 before heading to Chandler, Ariz., to play at the Wyoming Cowgirl Classic on April 9-11. The Hawkeyes end thier regular season April 21-22 at the Lady Buckeye Invitational hosted in Columbus, Ohio. Iowa opens postseason play April 27-29 at the Big Ten Championships in French Lick, Ind. “We want to see improvement,” said Menzel. “This team expects to go out and do some good things. Our goal has been to work hard and to make sure we’re doing things the right way every day that were out on the golf course.”

“She’s a great example all around,” said Menzel. “She’s works just as hard in golf as she does in school.” The Hawkeyes roster also features a pair of sophomores, in Woojay Choi and Karly Grouwinkel. Choi competed in 18 rounds and fired an 82 average during her freshman campaign. She posted a season low-round 76 at the Anteater Invitational. Grouwinkel played in one tournament as a freshman, recording a 246 (86-76-84) at the Hawkeye Invitational. Despite her lack of experience, Grouwinkel has already caught the eye of her head coach. “I’ve been very excited about Karly,” Menzel said. “I think she has come in and is working hard. She seems eager to improve. We really need her to stay focused and make sure she is getting better each time she’s out here.” Iowa added two nationally-ranked recruits to its roster in Lauren English and Shelby Phillips. English, a Bloomington, Ill., native, was considered the No. 1 player in Illinois and was ranked in the top 50 nationally throughout her senior

WHY IOWA?

IOWA WOMEN’S GOLF “The reason I chose Iowa was because I felt that the coaches could help me get to the next level with my game. On top of that, I love the campus, city and especially the Hawkeye spirit. I wanted to get further away from home and meet new people, and I also felt that I fit into the golf team very well. The girls have great team leadership, and I wanted to become a part of that.” Junior, Kristi Cardwell

“I chose Iowa because I loved the coaches. I needed to get away from the normal 110 weather and experience something different such as wind and snow. I also liked the campus, and I fit in well with the team. I have a lot of family in Iowa and knew it was a safe place for me.” Freshman, Shelby Phillips

“I chose The University of Iowa because I knew it would offer me a great education, and it has a lot to offer athletically, as well.” Senior, Chelsea Harris

“The reason I chose Iowa is because I absolutely loved the campus, the university has a great business school and everyone here is so friendly. I thought it was a great feeling to be able to go almost anywhere in the country, and run into a Hawkeye fan. The school spirit here is like no where else.” Freshman, Nicole Rae

“I chose the University of Iowa because my family has always been a big Iowa family, so I grew up wanting to go here. The coaches and team were very welcoming on my visit. Iowa just felt like the right fit for me, and it feels like my second home.” Sophomore, Karly Grouwinkel

“Before visiting Iowa I was not thrilled about coming here, but I thought I would take a visit since it is relatively close to my house, and I had a tournament in Iowa so it was convenient for me to come. When I came to campus I loved the coaches, and I absolutely loved the atmosphere in Iowa City. It is different than other big universities, I knew Iowa City was the place for me.” Freshman, Lauren English

“I chose Iowa for its great athletic and academic programs. I also love my teammates and coaches, and it felt like a nice fit for me. I always wanted to compete for a Big Ten school.” Sophomore, Woojay Choi

“I choose Iowa because it seemed like the perfect fit for me. I felt right at home in Iowa City and the team made me feel very welcomed. I look forward to the opportunity every day to compete and get my education at a Big Ten university.” Junior, Gigi DiGrazia

HEAD COACH MEGAN MENZEL

IOWA WOMEN’S GOLF Following one season in Boise, Menzel took over as head coach at Colorado State in July of 2000. During her stint with the Rams, she recruited and coached the 2002 Mountain West Conference individual champion. Her squad qualified for NCAA Regionals in 2001 and 2002 and claimed the 2001 CSU Invitational team title.

Megan Menzel Head Coach First Season University of New Mexico, 1998

Megan Menzel is in her first season as the head coach of the University of Iowa women’s golf program. Menzel joined the Hawkeyes in Aug. 2011 after serving as a teaching professional at the Denver Country Club from 2007-09. Menzel brings a wealth of collegiate coaching experience with her to Iowa City, having served as the head coach at three separate institutions -- Boise State (1998-99), Colorado State (2000-2002) and Kansas (2002-04). During her most recent coaching stint with the Jayhawks, Menzel recruited the first individual conference champion at KU, while helping the program improve its overall conference and national rankings. She also initiated an $800,000 fundraising effort to improve the Kansas facilities and created the program’s booster organization. After two seasons in Lawrence and five seasons as a head coach, Menzel resigned her post as the Jayhawks’ head coach to focus on her growing family. Menzel returned to the golf teaching circles as the assistant golf professional at Lawrence Country Club from 2007-09. In April 2009, she joined the golf teaching staff at the Denver Country Club in Colorado. Menzel’s first coaching opportunity came at Boise State, where she was in charge of the program during the 1998-99 campaign at the age of 23. She recruited the first ever individual NCAA Regional qualifier in Bronco history.

Academically, Menzel’s team led the CSU Athletics Department in cumulative grade point average during the 2001 season, and she coached three academic all-conference student-athletes during her stint at the school. Menzel played collegiate golf at the University of New Mexico from 1993-97, where she led the Lobos to three Western Athletic Conference titles (1994, 1995, 1996). The two-time team captain (1995, 1996), was a two-time academic allconference selection, while being named the 1996-97 Bank of America Academic Athlete of the Year. Menzel graduated from New Mexico in 1998 with a bachelor’s degree in elementary education. She is an LPGA Apprentice and A.C.E. certified personal trainer. She also holds golf fitness certification levels I and II from the Titleist Performance Institute. Menzel, who was born in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, is married to Craig Menzel and the couple has three children -- Kennedy (9), Callie (8), and Maclayne (6).

DIANE THOMASON

IOWA WOMEN’S GOLF Diane Thomason spent 27 years as the head women’s golf coach at the University of Iowa. Nearly a decade later, she’s still doing her part to advance the program. Since stepping down from her head coaching post in 2002, Thomason has worked as a development officer at the UI Foundation. One of her foremost tasks is fundraising for the $1.8 million Varsity Golf Club, a new state-of-the-art facility that will overlook Finkbine Golf Course’s sixth hole. The facility will feature a putting green, performance studio, heated hitting bays, men’s and women’s locker rooms, coach’s offices and a team lounge. “The facility will be a tremendous addition for our program,” said Thomason, who was the first women’s golf coach in school history. “This will give the student-athletes an opportunity to see the ball “fly” when they hit it. Almost everyone in the Big Ten has an indoor facility, so this will help us stay competitive in the conference.” Thomason served as Iowa’s head coach from 1975-2002, leading the Hawkeyes to the 1991 Big Ten Championship and a 1991 NCAA Tournament appearance. During her tenure as head coach, she coached seven All-Big Ten performers, including Stacy Arnold, the 1991 Big Ten Player of the Year. “My success coaching came from working with players that wanted to be successful, were coachable and willing to put in the hard work required to perform at a championship level,” said Thomason, who was twice named the Big Ten Coach of the Year (1990, 1991). “I was fortunate to have great mentors and supportive colleagues.” Thomason sees first-year head coach Megan Menzel as the perfect fit to lead the women’s golf program in the Big Ten. “Coach Menzel knows the game of golf, both the technical aspects and the mental aspects,” said Thomason, a 1995 inductee into the NGCA Hall of Fame. “She has great enthusiasm as a coach and teacher, and is a good listener and problem solver. “She was a good collegiate player at New Mexico, so she can relate to what her players are experiencing on the course.”

IOWA WOMEN’S WOMEN’S GOLF IOWA GOLF Finkbine Golf Course Home of the Hawkeyes

Located on the western edge of The University of Iowa campus, just walking distance from Kinnick Stadium, Carver-Hawkeye Arena and Hillcrest Residence Hall, is Finkbine Golf Course. Started in 1953 and opened in 1955, Finkbine remains a source of great pride and beauty as the home course for the Iowa Golf program. The 7,280-yard, par-72 layout is prized by the University and Iowa City community alike. A tremendous test of golf, Finkbine was the site of the PGA Amana VIP Pro-Am for more than 20 years featuring the PGA’s finest as well as national and local celebrities. In 1991 Finkbine also became the host of the Ben Hogan Tour – Hawkeye Open. Collegiately Finkbine has been the site of the 1984, 1993 and 2003 women’s Big Ten Championships, and hosted the Hawkeye Invitational every year from 1975-2010. Built among the rolling hills and elevation changes of Iowa City, Finkbine challenges golfers of every skill level. The Robert Bruce Harris design features sloped greens and sand bunkering on 17 of the 18 holes. The signature 13th hole is an island green surrounded by water offering multiple tee boxes and two greens. In the fall of 2003, Finkbine renovated the entire golf course with the addition of bent grass fairways and newly grassed greens and tee complexes. The university maintains Finkbine’s lush tees, fairways and greens with a state of the art irrigation system. The driving range and practice facility feature four practice greens, short game areas, sand bunkers and a two tier range. The Iowa golf teams enjoy a dedicated 10,000 sq. foot practice green, two practice bunkers and two newly renovated bent grass practice tees. Offering unquestionable golf facility advantages, Finkbine Golf Course is indeed the proud home of the Hawkeyes.

Why the Network Was Created

http://www.bigtennetwork.com/channelfinder Cable subscribers inside the eight Big Ten states receive the network on either an expanded basic or digital basic level of service. Outside the eight states, cable operators that carry the network make it available on a variety of packages.

Big Ten Network Programming

The Big Ten Network is on the air 24 hours per day, 365 days a year. The network annually televises more than 350 live events and streams an additional 300+ events. Each year’s schedule is comprised of approximately 35-40 football games, 105 regular season men’s basketball games, Big Ten Men’s Basketball Tournament games, 55 women’s basketball games, Big Ten Women’s Basketball Tournament games, hundreds of additional Olympic sports events and dozens of Big Ten championship events.

The Big Ten Network was created to provide the conference with more national exposure for Big Ten sports while enhancing its existing television agreements with its other television partners. The conference wanted to control more fully the advertising environment in which its events were aired (the network accepts no alcohol or gambling advertising), dramatically increase exposure for women’s sports and other NCAA sports that had not previously been widely televised and improve distribution for football and men’s basketball games that were previously available only on a local or regional basis.

The Big Ten Network is a joint venture between subsidiaries of the Big Ten Conference and Fox Cable Networks.

The Big Ten Network’s Impact

The network has provided an additional revenue source at a time of continued decreases in state support. The network has also provided significant and additional exposure for all Big Ten men’s and women’s sports, some of which previously received little or no television exposure. It also helps with recruiting in all sports as the ability for parents to watch their children compete from anywhere across the country is a major selling point.

DIRECTOR OF ATHLETICS GARY BARTA

IOWA WOMEN’S GOLF Gary Barta

Director of Athletics Gary Barta is in his sixth year as director of athletics at the University of Iowa – and his 25th year in athletics administration – riding a wave of momentum. Cause for that energy is the fact the Hawkeyes enjoyed record-setting performances in the classroom and on the playing field, the completion of the second-largest construction project in the history of intercollegiate athletics at the UI, and the breaking of ground on a new indoor practice facility for the Hawkeye football program. With respect to the UI academic momentum, Barta expects the graduation rates for student-athletes made public this fall to be among the highest ever achieved at the UI. Those numbers are also expected to compare favorably with the UI’s Big Ten Conference and national peers in the high profile sports of football, and men’s and women’s basketball. In May, the NCAA confirmed that all 24 of Iowa’s teams exceeded the Academic Progress Rate (APR) benchmark for the third straight year and honored a school-record four UI teams – men’s cross country, softball, men’s tennis and women’s tennis – that ranked in the top 10 percent of their sport, based on their most-recent multi-year APR. Competitively, the UI set a school record with 510 points scored in the 2011 Learfield Directors’ Cup. This success was driven in great measure by another successful season for the UI football team – which won a record third straight bowl game, 27-24, over Missouri in the Insight Bowl; a third-place finish at the NCAA championships by Iowa’s wrestling program; a fourth straight appearance in the NCAA postseason by the women’s basketball program; strong performances by the UI’s men’s and women’s track and field teams; and a school-record 10th place finish by the UI men’s golf team. The highlight of the UI’s year in Big Ten Conference competition was the first league title in men’s track and field in 44 years. Larry Wieczorek’s squad climbed to the top of the podium by dominating the final day of competition on the UI’s Cretzmeyer Track. An All-American distance runner as a student-athlete at the UI, Wieczorek was named the Big Ten Track and Field Coach of the Year in recognition of his team’s performance and for qualifying no fewer than 33 male and female student-athletes for postseason competition. In addition to the competitive success the Hawkeyes recorded in 2010-11, the UI also experienced tremendous success at the turnstiles. Iowa entered the 2010 home football season with all seven home games sold out. The UI will do the same in 2011 and boasts waiting lists for not only season tickets to the home games of Kirk Ferentz’s squad, but also the premium seating options available inside the Paul W. Brechler Press Box at Kinnick Stadium. Attendance at home games of first-year men’s basketball coach Fran McCaffery soared 23 percent – the fifth-highest increase by percentage in the country and the largest by a team that did not advance to postseason play. Attendance at women’s basketball games increased by almost 60 percent. Iowa ended the year ranked 13th – the program’s highest finish in more than a decade. As always, success at the gate provides Barta the financial resources to meet the mandate of Iowa’s institutional leadership: Operate the intercollegiate athletics program with integrity, with a commitment to academic excellence, and without any support from tax dollars, i.e. be “self-sustaining.” Inherent in Barta’s charge is to provide the more than 650 student-athletes who compete in the 24 intercollegiate athletics programs at the UI the best opportunity for success, including training and competition facilities that compare favorably or exceed those offered by comparable institutions. The 2010-11 season marked the first for the men’s and women’s swimming and diving teams in the UI’s $69 million Campus Recreation and Wellness Center. In late summer 2011, the UI completed a $47 million revitalization of Carver-Hawkeye Arena. That project includes the construction of a practice facility for men’s and women’s basketball and volleyball, a 10,000-square-foot strength training and cardiovascular center, and an expansion to the Dan Gable Wrestling Complex, in addition to new locker room and support facilities for men’s and women’s basketball, wrestling and volleyball programs, and office space for the majority of Iowa administrative and coaching staffs. The Carver project includes the installation of a statue of Gable at the facility’s main entrance. That project will be completed in time for thousands of fans of the sport of wrestling

to enjoy when the UI stages the 2012 USA Wrestling Olympic Team Trials in April 2012 – an event that represents not only the UI’s commitment to its nationally-respected wrestling program, but Barta’s desire to strike partnerships when success would be mutually beneficial. The UI Department of Athletics will break ground on Phase I of a two-phase project for the UI football program in late summer 2011. Phase I includes the construction of a new indoor practice facility; Phase II includes construction of all football operations areas including locker rooms, team meeting rooms, athletic medical training space, video operations, and coaches offices and meeting rooms. Funded entirely through private support, the project is an important next phase of the master facilities plan for Hawkeye football. It will be constructed adjacent to the Ron and Margaret Kenyon Outdoor Practice Facility and immediately west of Kinnick Stadium. Barta has also received permission form the State of Iowa Board of Regents to construct a new practice facility for the men’s and women’s golf programs. The facility will be located on the southern edge of the UI’s award-winning Finkbine Golf Course and will begin construction as soon as the funding required is secured from friends and fans of the Iowa Hawkeyes and the UI’s golf programs. Barta’s involvement in the UI campus community extends beyond intercollegiate athletics. He is a member of the President’s Cabinet comprised of vice presidents and other campus leaders that provide counsel to UI President Sally Mason. That group was instrumental in the UI’s response to record-setting flooding that besieged the campus and the Iowa City and Coralville community in June 2008. Barta also represents the UI and the Hawkeyes at the conference and national level. During his first five years at the UI, he has participated in the creation and implementation of the Big Ten Network, the expansion of the Big Ten Conference and realignment of athletics conferences nationally, and the Big Ten’s postseason bowl game agreements that were successfully implemented in 2010. Nationally, Barta remains active in the Division IA Athletics Directors Association, the National Association of College Directors of Athletics, and currently serves on the NCAA Football Committee Board of Directors. Barta often suggests to his staff that “Hope is not a strategy,” which is why he is currently overseeing a comprehensive review of the strategic plan for the UI Athletics Department and has worked with the UI’s leadership on a long-term financial plan. Another favorite saying of his is, “Vision without resources is irrelevant.” Over the course of his career he has been directly involved in raising hundreds of millions of dollars in support of intercollegiate athletics. This has remained a primary focus during his tenure at Iowa, where private support for the Hawkeyes continues to flourish despite a challenging economy. In recent years, the department has received a long list of commitments to assist in capital projects and scholarship support, including gifts of $5 million each from long-time friends of the UI – Dale and Marilyn Howard, Bruce Rastetter and Richard O. Jacobson. Under Barta’s leadership – and thanks to a talented athletics development staff – the UI has seen year-over-year improvement in annual giving in spite of the difficult economic environment and has generated more than $20 million of philanthropic and corporate sponsorship support for the Carver-Hawkeye Arena project. As the director of athletics at the University of Wyoming for three years, seven different UW coaches were named Mountain West Conference Coach of the Year. He also spearheaded a fund-raising effort that netted the Cowboy athletics program $11 million in private support and $11 million in matching state fund. As the senior associate athletics director at the University of Washington, he directed the “Campaign for the Student-Athlete,” was a participant in the design, construction and/ or renovation of several UW athletics facilities, including Bank of America Arena and the Dempsey Indoor Practice Facility. In addition to almost doubling the amount of annual private support received by UW, Barta also managed the department’s external relations division, a task that included corporate sponsorship and radio contracts. His responsibilities at Washington expanded over time to include hiring of coaching and administrative staff and coordinating the schedule for the Huskies men’s basketball program. The roots of his development experience extend to his first two positions: director of athletics development and external relations at the University of Northern Iowa and director of development at his alma mater, North Dakota State University. Barta earned a bachelor of science degree in mass communication and broadcast journalism from NDSU in 1987. He was an option quarterback for Bison football squads that won the Division II NCAA National Championship in 1983, 1985 and 1986. Barta, and his wife, Connie, have a son, Luke (13) and a daughter, Madison (11). He was born Sept. 4, 1963, in Minneapolis.

HAWKEYE TRADITIONS

IOWA WOMEN’S GOLF The Hawkeye Nickname The University of Iowa borrowed its athletic nickname from the state of Iowa many years ago. The name Hawkeye was originally the name of the hero in the fictional novel, The Last of the Mohicans, written by James Fenimore Cooper. Cooper had the Delaware Indians bestow the name on a white scout who lived with them. In 1838, 12 years after the book was published, people in the territory of Iowa acquired the nickname, chiefly through the efforts of Judge David Rorer of Burlington and James Edwards of Fort Madison. Edwards, editor of the Fort Madison Patriot, moved his paper to Burlington in 1843 and renamed it the Burlington Hawkeye. The two men continued their campaign to popularize the name, and territorial officials eventually gave it their formal approval. Herky The Hawkeye The Hawkeye nickname gained a tangible symbol in 1948 when a cartoon character, later to be named Herky the Hawkeye was hatched. The creator was Richard Spencer III, instructor of journalism at Iowa. The impish Hawk was an immediate hit and acquired a name through a statewide contest staged by the athletic department. John Franklin, a Belle Plaine alumnus, was the man who suggested Herky. Since his birth more than 45 years ago, Herky has symbolized Iowa athletics and epitomized university life. He even donned a military uniform during the Korean War and became the insignia of the 124th Fighter Squadron. During the mid-1950s, Herky came to life at a football game as the Iowa mascot. Since that time, Herky has been a familiar figure at Iowa athletics events. School Colors For 40 years Iowa was without school colors, but in 1887 a group of 50 seniors met on the steps of the Old Capitol to decide what are now the school official colors. They chose gold, the color of Iowa’s vast corn fields and black, the color of the rich soil.

School Fight Song The Iowa Fight Song was written in 1950 by Mason City, Iowa, native Meredith Willson. Best known as the creator of Broadway’s “The Music Man,” Willson was awarded a 1963 University of Iowa Alumni Association Distinguished Service Award for “setting the spirit of Iowa to music.” The lively cheer is sung hundreds of times during Iowa athletics events the year around. The word is Fight, Fight, Fight for IOWA Let every loyal Iowan sing; The word is Fight, Fight, Fight for IOWA Until the walls and rafters ring (Go Hawks!) Come on and cheer, cheer, cheer for IOWA Come on and cheer until you hear the final gun. The word is Fight, Fight, Fight for IOWA Until the game is won.

THE UNIVERSITY OF IOWA

IOWA WOMEN’S GOLF An Exceptional Choice Since 1847, The University of Iowa has distinguished itself as a leader among public universities. Today its programs in health, business, engineering, education, law, the arts, communications, and the sciences are known worldwide for their excellence and innovation. Outstanding Academic Opportunities Iowa offers degrees in 11 colleges: Business, Dentistry, Education, Engineering, Law, Liberal Arts and Sciences, Medicine, Nursing, Pharmacy, Public Health, and the Graduate College. Undergraduates can choose from more than 100 areas of study.

U.S. News & World Report ranked The University of Iowa as the 29th best public university in the nation in 2010.

A Fun Place to Call Home Iowa City is a classic university town where learning and creating truly matter. The city blends the vibrant university campus and the natural beauty of the Iowa River with nearby shopping, entertainment, and residential areas. Commanding Resources The university operates one of the largest research library systems in the country. Iowa equips its classrooms and laboratories with the latest in computer technology. Students benefit from this technology-rich environment coupled with the high personal attention of university faculty and staff. Visit the university’s web site at www.uiowa.edu to learn about its multifaceted education, research and service programs. More Than a Taste of the Arts Although temporarily displaced from their buildings by a summer 2008 flood, Hancher Auditorium and the UI Museum of Art continue to offer performances, exhibits and special events in alternate venues. Premiere works of art are displayed in most university buildings and plazas throughout campus. Students may participate in theater, music, and dance groups. Time and Space to Play Every year about 90 percent of Iowa’s students make use of the university’s recreational facilities. Each season offers a full schedule of intramural and club sports, ranging from rugby, tennis, and golf to volleyball, soccer, and swimming. Individual workouts are a part of many students’ daily routines. Students also make use of campus walking and running trails, bikeways, ski trails, golf courses, and canoe and sailboat rentals to relax and enjoy leisure time. What Distinguishes an Iowa Education? Success. Iowa’s philosophy is that if students meet the entrance requirements, the university is going to do everything it can to help students to graduate. An Iowa degree spells success in the job market, giving students the skills to continue learning and growing throughout their careers. Excellence. The faculty is stellar. Students are amazed not only at how much they know but at how enthused they are about sharing that knowledge and getting students excited about their subject. Comfortable class sizes Attending a large university does not necessarily mean having large class sizes. More than 30,000 students are enrolled at Iowa, but the UI has a student-to-faculty ratio of 15:1. Large lecture halls host a few of the most popular undergraduate courses, with several hundred students in attendance. However, most lectures are complemented by classroom discussions among smaller groups. Altogether, 92 percent of undergraduate classes have fewer than 50 students in them; 80 percent have fewer than 30 students. Less than 4 percent of undergraduate classes have more than 100 students in them.
