During the recruitment period, you may have seen social media blasts introducing these students as they confirmed their desire to attend UI REACH this fall. Huge thanks go to Barbara Mueller, our admissions coordinator, who did a masterful job of getting prospective students and families through the application and admissions process. Families noted her helpfulness in navigating the process and her responsiveness to their questions and concerns. Our staff also played a crucial role in file reviews, interviews, campus visit days, and connecting with both students and families.

The incoming class will be with us on campus again for a week in July while attending Bridge Camp, which provides an opportunity to learn about the campus, try classes, use the CAMBUS, explore Iowa City, and hang out with their new classmates. Last year’s Bridge Camp was a huge success and helped students settle into college life in a less stressful atmosphere before the official start of the fall semester.
