UNI faces the continuing challenges of COVID-19 in 2022

UNI is just welcoming students back to class after winter break, with classes resuming Thursday. The school tweeted a reminder to students that they can help slow the spread of COVID-19 and the now prevalent Omicron Variant during the spring semester. While there is no mask mandate on campus, the school is strongly encouraging students to wear masks while in public locations, including classrooms. They've also updated their guidance to include the CDCs recent recommendation to use N95 and KN95 masks as opposed to looser cloth masks.

UNI is also continuing to strongly encourage all students to get vaccinated and/or get their booster for COVID-19 while reminding students to stay home if they feel sick, even if they have not tested positive for the coronavirus. Any student looking for a COVID-19 test is encouraged to call the Student Health Center at 319-273-2100 for an appointment, or pick-up a saliva test from the lobby of the SHC.

Roseanne Barr Abandoned Iowa Mansion in Eldon, IA

I fell into a rabbit hole when I found out that Roseanne Barr almost had a mansion in Iowa. After seeing the current state of the property on Facebook, I was amazed that such an extravagant project could be so quickly overtaken by nature.

The current photos were taken by Gable Fry on a recent trip he took.
