Virtual Homecoming is a chance to keep the Hawkeye spirit alive by sharing a "homecoming message" with the University of Iowa community, regardless of where you are in the world.
If you can't make it to campus for homecoming this year, send a virtual homecoming message! The messages will be shared with campus during Homecoming Week (October 20-26, 2024).

"Be proud that the University of Iowa is one of the nation's top-ranked institutions for research, academics, and innovation with the support of some outstanding athletes and teams. In this critical year of elections and global turmoil, I urge you to first become seriously informed before voting but do vote. Also, I urge considering deepening your knowledge and motivation to become leading citizens as you move forward as a next or new generation of service."
"After graduation, I faced a lot of pressure in both work and life. It was the wonderful memories of Iowa that supported me and helped me move forward step by step. I hope that one day I will have the chance to return to UI and participate in homecoming events. I really miss this city, Iowa City, which is the best in my heart! I hope everyone is doing well."
"I bit sad. First homecoming without my dear professor and friend Dr. Dennis R Maki."

"My time at UI has served me greatly. I was the president of the African Students Association and I was able to impact the lives of young Iowans through International Journey to the Classroom. I really enjoyed my time with the kids as it gave me the chance to talk about my country Ghana and its culture. I also learned a lot from diverse cultures I met in Iowa City. I loved the Korean Baptist Church, and the food. It was at UI that I really experienced diversity. It was also there that I embraced diversity; a virtue that has helped me in my career as an academic and a higher education manager
