"I'm the First"With 23% of the 2016 first-year class at the University of Iowa being first-generation students, the UI is a leader in higher education for first-generation student accessibility. First-generation students are students for whom neither parent nor guardian has received a baccalaureate degree.

The University of Iowa Student Government is committed to enhancing the student experience on campus. By challenging ourselves and the University we seek to ensure a student-centered environment through education and advocacy. UISG's Semester Report chronicles the accomplishments and details over the fall semester.
