Getting involved on campus or in the community is the surest way to find your home away from home while at the University of Iowa. UI students who are engaged report greater feelings of connection to other students, faculty, staff, and others in the university community. They also tend to be more successful in the classroom, and learn valuable job skills that future employers are looking for in college graduates. Best of all, by getting involved, you will develop greater self-confidence while also meeting new people, and developing lifelong connections.

Engagement Record

Your engagement record in MyUI provides a list of your student engagement activities. Your record outlines the activities you have participated in, the dates you were involved, your role (member, leader, committee chair, etc.), competencies (or transferrable skills) you developed during your experience, and how the activity connects to the Iowa Challenge

You can pick and choose from your various engagement activities to generate a pdf of your personal engagement record. The engagement record currently pulls in University of Iowa student organization, student employment, and study abroad activities. University of Iowa research, internships/practicum, and volunteer/service activities will be added in the near future. In the future, students will also be able to add non-University of Iowa engagement activities.
