Hello UI REACH Family,

We hope you enjoyed a great holiday season. It was nice to get a break and reflect on our many blessings. With great excitement, we bring you another edition of our newsletter with updates on how UI REACH is advancing, growing, achieving, and REACHING new heights. Thanks to all of you for how you have contributed to our achievements. We could not have done all of this without the support of many. Please enjoy this edition and feel free to share it with others.

Warm regards,
William “Bill” Loyd, Jr.
Charles and Mary Sukup UI REACH Director

Supporting UI REACH

We have so much to be thankful for in 2025, as alumni, families, and friends of UI REACH gave generously in support of our students through both programming and scholarship gifts. UI REACH invites you to read about Iowa alumna Christin Meyer Ferrall, who supports UI REACH.
