What an amazing weekend to be a Panther! 💜💛

We started with STEM Visit Day, welcoming students and families to campus to explore science, technology, engineering and math majors at UNI.

The weekend continued with Family Weekend and the Teacher Education Convention, then Saturday night brought everyone together at the Dome for a Whiteout, where we cheered on the Panthers to a huge win over #3-ranked Illinois State!

It was a weekend full of connection, Panther pride and plenty of memories!
