The University of Northern Iowa Radio News Network operates 24 hours a day. The University of Northern Iowa recently hosted the Power of Education Leadership Conference. The conference was designed to give Cedar Valley High School students the opportunity to learn more about their academic potential. We'll talk about the event with Tony Stevens, director of UNI's Educational Talent Search program.
Many college students finance their schooling through part-time employment.
Brian Will is the Assistant Director of Financial Aid for the University of Northern Iowa. He'll tell us how many students are currently employed by the University, and explain the importance of student employment both for the students and the campus. The conference will focus on the present state of drug use control, drug law enforcement, and public health costs associated with the war on drugs. We'll have UNI professor of Political Science Allen Hays describe the importance of the event. Its purpose is to work with area school and parks officials, churches, child care centers, and businesses to reduce the use of lawn pesticides.
