Students

For incoming and current students

Life as a student of Learning, Leadership and Community programs means you’re on the move. As an undergraduate, you may find yourself volunteering at a local nonprofit, interning at a local recreation center–or studying quietly in the lounge overlooking the WRC pools.

As a graduate student, you benefit from graduate assistantships and mentorships to apply what you’re learning, networking among peers and professional organizations – even opportunities like coordinating an outdoor adventure. 

Student organizations add to your experience and scholarships and graduate assistantships support your education. Dedicated faculty, undergraduate advisors, professional staff with the college’s graduate office and UNI’s online education division provide a supportive environment where you can build your skills, grow your network and prepare to make a lasting impact.
