We hosted an enjoyable reunion in June, and we've been gearing up with a few surprises for football season. -- Of Pigs and Prairies: What's the difference between a pork producer and a hog farmer? Bucking so-called modern, scientific, and efficient confinement systems, one Iowa alumnus harbors a healthy respect for the pig —and has chosen to work with nature, not against it.

He's discovered fascinating quirks left by an Iowa City builder and added a distinctive character all his own. -- Remote Control: An army of machines emerges from a landing spacecraft and begins to take over the planet. It's not a scene from The War of the Worlds, but the latest UI engineering project to help NASA explore the secrets of Mars. -- There's No Place Like Homecoming: Homecoming Weekend is a grand tradition on the UI campus.
