Hawkeyes Give Back

Why do people give? There's a spark, a pull, a passion, or an experience that inspires one person to help another. And so begins a chain, a network of those who are making a difference.

Enter Hawkeyes. We are collaborative, caring, hardworking, and forward-thinking. Together, we have the power to change the world.

Hawkeyes Give Back promotes Iowa's unique culture—through events, programming, and communication—to show UI students, alumni, and all who love Iowa how the generosity of Hawkeyes has shaped our remarkable university.


Pause for Philanthropy: Swing Into Summer

Tuesday, April 29
8 a.m. to 1 p.m.
(or while supplies last)
Hubbard Park, next to the Iowa Memorial Union

Get ready for summer with the Student Advancement Network and UI Center for Advancement! Join us for Pause for Philanthropy: Swing Into Summer, an event to celebrate Hawkeye connections and share the spirit of giving back.

UI Students, enjoy a free 9-ounce smoothie from Bloom to celebrate the start of summer! The first 250 students will receive a free summer starter kit, with essentials to help you make the most of the season.

Plus, when you stop by, test your knowledge (and win prizes) with Iowa trivia, and learn about staying informed and inspired as Hawkeyes all summer long!

Bonus: All attendees will be entered to win one of 10 hammocks—perfect for lounging on the Pentacrest.

Don't miss this chance to celebrate summer, philanthropy, and the incredible Hawkeye community. See you there!
