New campus life editor greets readers CATHERINE CROW
Campus Life Editor
My name is Katie Crow and I am so excited to be the campus life editor. I am currently a third year student here at the University of Northern Iowa and am majoring in digital journalism and minoring in art for photography. I am from Cedar Falls, but was adopted from Guatemala. I have been working for the university for over three years now and I love the people who I have met throughout my many years here so far. While working at the paper I also help out with the UNI THRIVE mentoring program; I am also starting to get involved with the Lambda Theta Alpha Latin Sorority Inc here on campus. With the mentoring program I plan on becoming a mentor to help out incoming freshmen or transfer students find their way here on campus. As for Lambda Theta
Alpha sorority I plan on helping with recruitment, as well as help women be successful with their college experience and with their future careers. With that being said my goals definitely include helping others succeed here while attending UNI. That is why I want to become a mentor and help others find their passion. Besides that another goal of mine is to capture some award winning moments whether that be through writing or photos. When I was in high school I won a couple Iowa High School Press Association awards for a few photos and that feeling of accomplishment kept me going and made me realize how much I love photography and the journalism field. That’s what I want to do again is to have that sense of accomplishment after a lot of hard work. Now when it comes to career wise goals I hope to become a photojournalist or
even an editor at a small news company in Chicago, Salt Lake or even somewhere in Florida would be great as well. I want to start small and work my way up from there or even help a small news company become bigger, whether that’s through helping promote on social media or just helping out getting the best news content possible. As of now my plan is to go to Des Moines and start out there in the media field and see where I land from there – The Northern Iowan welcomes new who knows maybe I will end school year. up staying in Iowa. one day or even now.

Both in-person and online learning have its benefits and backdraws with how each student is able to learn and the challenges faculty faces to meet those needs. With the pandemic still around, only the future knows what is in store for the lives on campus at UNI. Students, instructors, professors, and staff are hopeful for a good turn around and will continue to adapt until it happens.
