Greetings, Hawkeyes!
At The University of Iowa College of Nursing, we are honored to celebrate this significant milestone with you at the Golden Alumni Reunion for the classes of 1969-1975. Join us for two days of reconnecting and reminiscing about your time at the College of Nursing with fellow alumni and friends.
This is a wonderful opportunity to rekindle old friendships, share your life stories, and take a nostalgic trip down memory lane. Let's make this reunion a memorable event filled with laughter, camaraderie, and a deep sense of pride for all that you’ve accomplished since your time at the college. We look forward to welcoming you back and celebrating our shared legacy.
