What is Discover Your University?

The program offers sponsored visits to various campus sites during normal working hours, providing opportunities to learn about innovative programs like the Driving Safety Research Institute, Recreational Services, University Libraries, Hancher, Pentacrest Museums, and more.

Discover Your University lets individuals and teams experience the breadth of incredible work going on at the university and discover something new, surprising, or inspiring. You'll also earn liveWELL Points for participating.

The program launched in fall 2022 and returns for 2023 with spring/summer visit events on April 13, May 17, and June 20 (plus more dates pending this fall).

All Faculty and Staff Welcome

Discover Your University is open to all Iowa faculty and staff. Faculty and staff—individually or as teams—can take part in up to two visit events (on the same day or on different days) each year.

Iowa's Educational Opportunities policy encourages participation in educational and developmental programs like Know Your University. In addition, the Volunteer Time Release policy supports activities that enhance community engagement.
