Thank you to everyone who braved the elements Tuesday to serve our campus!
We wish a heartfelt “thank you” to the many employees across the university who didn’t let a snowstorm on Tuesday stop them from moving snow, maintaining building operations, driving Cambus, caring for patients, and so much more. In difficult conditions, dedicated Hawkeyes showed up. We appreciate you!
