First Ringing of the Sesquicentennial Bell
It’s the official kick-off of the Sesquicentennial Celebration! The event will officially dedicate the bell and introduce a new UNI tradition: ringing the bell to mark momentous occasions on campus each year. The ceremony will include a pre-event carillon concert and reflections from President Nook and others representing the past, present and future of the university. You’re welcome to be among the first to ring the bell as you pass through the plaza! Read more about this event on our sesquicentennial website.
