TheatreUNI Presents: Blood at the RootTheatreUNI Presents: Blood at the Root
Wednesday, March 2, 2022 - 7:30 pm to Friday, March 11, 2022 - 3:00 pm
This drama is based in the true story of the Jena Six: six Black students who were initially charged with attempted murder for a school fight after a provoking incident on campus. “When the central character, a black female student named Raylynn, decides it’s time for change in her high school, she sits under a tree around which only white students regularly gather. In response - as was the case in Jena - nooses are subsequently hung from that tree, causing many black students to erupt in protest." (American Theatre)
This piece is filled with poetry, music, and choreography which help lift up the script’s important message.
Content Warning: This play contains topics related to the marginalization of specific groups, and the use of language and images that may be disturbing to some.
Directed by: Margaret Kemp (guest director)

Guest Artist Recital: The Neave TrioGuest Artist Recital: The Neave Trio
Wednesday, March 9, 2022 - 8:00 pm
Visiting artists The Neave Trio will present a recital. Since forming in 2010, Neave Trio – violinist Anna Williams, cellist Mikhail Veselov, and pianist Eri Nakamura – has earned enormous praise for its engaging, cuttingedge performances. WQXR explains, “‘Neave’ is actually a Gaelic name meaning ‘bright’ and ‘radiant,’ both of which certainly apply to this trio's music making.” The group’s 2019 album Her Voice, on Chandos Records, was named one of the best recordings of the year by both The New York Times and BBC Radio 3. This event is free and open to the public.

Sam Barr Retirement ReceptionSam Barr Retirement Reception
Thursday, March 31, 2022 - 1:30 pm
Sam Barr, Senior Information Technology Specialist at IT-Client Services, is retiring this April.
Sam has spent his entire career at UNI following his college graduation in 1984. His first year was spent in what was then Academic Computer Services where he created a system for the networking team to track cabling across campus.
Sam was moved to Financial Aid in 1985 to take care of their growing need for computer help. His first computer (the only one in a department full of dumb terminals) had a 20MB hard drive and 640KB of memory. Data were transmitted via phone modems to the Iowa College Aid Commission. Over the course of fifteen years he counseled students, managed the Pell Grant and Student Loans programs, created reports, responded to data requests, served as the president of the Iowa Association of Student Financial Aid Administrators, and became an Assistant Director. Two notable accomplishments were the creation of student employment tracking system and a web job board, both of which predated those in MyUniverse (and Google). There were times, such as in preparation for the Year 2000, where he was enlisted to assist in updating the COBOL programs that ran the Financial Aid system on the mainframe.
In the spring of 2000 Sam was hired as the technology coordinator for the division of Student Affairs, which at the time encompassed ten departments. If it plugged in, needed to be saved, or lived on the web, there is a good chance he and his team took care of it. His most fond memories are of the people who make this campus a great place to work.
Save the date: Please help us celebrate Sam's retirement from UNI! The reception will be Thursday, March 31st, 2022, from 1:30 - 4:30 pm in the ITTC 2nd floor open area (formerly East Gym swimming pool area).
