Postcards on the Pentacrest

Monday, September 8, 2025 9:30am to 11:30pm
University of Iowa Pentacrest
We learned that one of the toughest parts about the start of the semester for most students is none other than homesickness. Show your loved ones you're thinking about them by sending a University of Iowa Museum of Natural History or Old Capitol Museum postcard. We've got all the materials and we'll take care of the postage and mailing. Find us on the Pentacrest Monday, September 8th9:30 a.m - 11:30 a.m. Stay connected, Hawkeyes! <3
