@mitchzum First, Tupperware. Now, this. I'm not sure how I'll go on.

Is there a better way to spend your anniversary than with @zacbrownband for the 12th concert and your ENTIRE family?!?!?

It cost us a paycheck and is 100% worth it.

[Nikki Harken, EdD @teachpanthers]

It's been such a fun adventure creating this program. Transitioning out (after paying all those tuition dollars) is 👏👏 AS 👏👏 IMPORTANT 👏👏as transitioning in.

My students!!! This was such a fantastic project!

[Denver Public Health & Environment @DDPHE]

A #DDPHE Homelessness Impacts Investigator presented to a class at @northerniowa. The class then completed a project centered around the population of people experiencing homelessness + migrants in #Denver. They created resource guides + raised 💲 to donate 1,501 pairs of socks!

Our 10th @zacbrownband concert (would be 11....but COVID).

@nickimjohnson21 Why you gotta do me like that?!?? 😭😭

[Nikki Harken, EdD @teachpanthers]

Higher ed provides so many resources (and $) on the way in. Then, the institution gets tuition. When students are ready to leave...how do we help them transition to their next step?
Come learn some research that inspired programming that IS helping!

We gather in a garage, nearly every Friday and play cards, have potluck, and beverages. We have a community calendar we just updated. Congrats, @lukecombs you made the cut

The way I see people in rural Iowa stop on the side of the road for emergency vehicles, even when there is literally not another vehicle around or a place for the emergency vehicle to turn, restores my faith in humanity. #goodhumans

I'm not sure there is anything that gives me immediate feels (and chills) like an Amber Alert. That has to be directly related to being an Iowa child in the 1980s. I still wonder...where is Johnny Gosch?

@nickimjohnson21 @UNIVolleyball Right??? Golly I love watching volleyball!!! Edge of my seat...

@Paulhollywood_0 ...thanks for the recipe!!! Excellent puff with no soggy bottom, although my daughter said "Mom, it's just a scalloped potato pot pie " 😂😂

Looking for a great gift for that early twenty-something in your life? This is it...it may be the best $20 you spend for that REALLY hard to shop for emerging adult!! https://t.co/Q4VoSOMNj0

[Nikki Harken, EdD @teachpanthers]

This is SO fantastic for so many reasons. An opponent doing research on something so powerfully uniting. Young people are my favorite...they really do and can change the world. ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Are you even a real Norby's shopper if you don't grab one of these at the check out?

Grandpa always bought two when we checked out...old habits die hard. ❤️❤️

Yesterday was faculty recognition day in Panther land!

In a small world turn of events...Liam's dad was a teammate and roommate of @hark50670 when he played for the Panthers.

Seeing former students like @JustinSurrency is just The BEST. Comm & Media was well represented!!
