As a University of Iowa student, you become part of the Hawkeye family—students and alumni transformed by their experiences at Iowa. The University asks you to

follow their example and rise to the challenge of these five expectations:

EXCEL.Academic excellence means setting and meeting high standards for yourself as a student. Faculty, staff and other students will ask you to work hard and push yourself intellectually. We expect a lot of you; you should expect only the best from yourself and the University.

STRETCH.At Iowa, you will find diversity of people, ideas, opportunities, and experiences. That

diversity is one of the benefits of being an Iowa student. Step away from the familiar, try new ideas, experience new cultures and learn from people different from yourself.

ENGAGE.You will be a more successful student and enjoy yourself more if you spend your time and energy on activities that matter. The University of Iowa offers

almost limitless opportunities and the resources to help you become a leader in and out of the classroom. Take advantage of them.

CHOOSE.Every day you make decisions that affect your education and your future. Take

your choices seriously and use your freedom wisely. Your Iowa education is what you make it. Make it something you and your university can be proud of.

SERVE.As an Iowa student, you are a member of many communities, on and off the campus.

You have the opportunity and responsibility to be a good neighbor and citizen and to serve the community. Make your community a great place to live.

PENNY WARS TO BENEFITHABITAT FOR HUMANITYFraternities & Sororities and Student Organizations

The University of Iowa Homecoming Executive Council would like to thank you for supporting our fundraising efforts to benefit the Iowa Valley Habitat for Humanity! This year, we are committed to raising over $2500 to help construct a home for a deserving family in the Iowa City area. Only by partnering with outstanding groups like yours will we reach this goal and continue to foster a phenomenal partnership between the University of Iowa and Habitat for Humanity.

To help reach our goal of $2500, we need YOUR HELP! Starting Sunday, October 4th, 2015, the Homecoming Executive Council will have a jar at each event for your organization to add money into. Thursday, October 8, 2015 at 6pm, right before Iowa Shout starts, Penny Wars will end. At that time, we will count up each group’s total. Pennies will be positive and silver will be negative. For example, if you add 20 pennies, that will be 20 points, and if you have a quarter added, it will be negative 25 points.

Class 3: Motorized vehicles without floats (example: cars or tractors): The number of vehicles included in this entry space will be dependent on the size of the vehicles. In such entries there must be an interval between vehicles equal to the vehicle length (example: for a vehicle six feet in length, there must be a six foot distance between that and all other vehicle(s) in the entry). If the vehicles are of varying sizes the space between vehicles must be equivalent to the length of the largest vehicle in the entry.

These entries will be considered unique and will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis by the Homecoming Council. All decisions by the Homecoming Council are final.

Entries exceeding the above restrictions must pay an additional $100 entry fee for each additional entry space needed. Any entry which is found to be in violation of any parade or university policies and/or state or local laws during the parade or parade line-up will be removed without refund of entry fee.

13. Any participants who wish to have animals in their entry must indicate use on the attached application. Entrants are responsible for the cleaning and disposal of any waste produced by the animals. Though animals may be present, they may not leave the transportation vehicle.

homecoming .uiowa .edu

We strongly recommend Class 1 entries this year, as Class 1 entries will take priority over all other entries. For example, if application numbers 134 and 135 are walking entries, and application

numbers 136 and 137 are both Class 1 entries, numbers 136 & 137 will move up in position, knocking applications 134 and 135 down in the order, resulting in them being put on the wait list.
