Levitt Center for University Advancement

In search of a quiet, relaxing environment to fill your brain with knowledge? Trek out to the Levitt Center located in the parking lot northwest of Hancher Auditorium.

The University of Iowa Alumni Association is providing exclusive study space with FREE FOOD and FREE PARKING—available to S.T.A.T. members only! Sorry, no WiFi, but computers will be available. Less time on Facebook means more time to study, right?

Ah, money. Those elusive slips of green paper disappear all too rapidly. We can sympathize. That's why S.T.A.T. Underground is offering you another chance to pad your wallet with an extra $50, while spreading a little Christmas cheer.

Thank you to everyone who attended the November S.T.A.T. events. Court TV's Matt Stueland, 98BA, shared inspiring and encouraging advice on starting a career in television and more than a dozen of you enjoyed a tour of the imposing press box towering above Kinnick Stadium. Check out photos >>

Most of us have fond memories of our parents taking us to shopping complexes to see Santa. You wait in a long line for the opportunity to climb onto Santa's lap, rail off your ten-page Christmas list, and are awarded with a small candy cane.
Well, while none of us are fat bearded men dressed all in red, we decided to copy Santa's spiel and ask the age-old question: "What do you really want for Christmas?"

Travel for the Soul – Volunteer in Romania

The UIAA Iowa Voyagers offer a service trip which not only allows you to experience the culture-rich lands of Romania, but also impact the everyday lives of the local population. Spend time volunteering in a failure-to-thrive clinic caring for needy and abandoned babies and toddlers or in the local schools helping students practice their English conversational skills.

This trip is the perfect opportunity for you to see the world, make a difference, and enrich your personal life. Apply for a scholarship to cover the cost of this life-changing experience.

Contact us at 319/335-3294 or e-mail Diane at diane-baker@uiowa.edu for more information.

S.T.A.T. members, the holiday season is upon us! And while the surplus of holiday decorations might make you sick of red and green, the one place you'll never get tired of seeing green is in your wallet. So don't forget to utilize your S.T.A.T. discount card when buying goodies for others at stores such as Golfzilla, Gilda Imports, and Silver Spider! Make your membership work for you. Warm holiday wishes to everyone from the UI Alumni Association!
