On Oct. 5, the University of Iowa began a new partnership with CommUnity Crisis Services in Iowa City to provide around-the-clock mental health crisis and support assistance via phone, chat, and text for all students, in addition to in-person response and transport to care facilities as needed and appropriate for the situation.

If you find yourself in the position of trying to figure out what to do about a fellow student who is in medical distress due to alcohol or other substance use, you don't have to worry that doing the right thing will get you or the student in distress in trouble.

One of the expectations of the Iowa Challenge is to engage — engage in campus life and engage in the community in which you live. We know engagement looks very different right now due to the COVID-19 pandemic, but we still encourage students to get involved. One way is to participate in local and state elections.

Hello Hawkeyes, like many of you, we are excited for the 2021 football season to begin Saturday.
