A sophomore business major and leadership studies minor, Leifker chose UNI for its size and location. UNI is just the right distance from home, according to Leifker. He is a 1997 graduate of Dubuque Senior High School. The best part of UNI that Leifker has experienced is the people. Everyone is so friendly, and the facilities are great.
Students can talk to their professors, and the professors care about the students.
Sophomore Molly Gavin had homework over winter break, but she didn't mind very much. Her assignment was to swim a mile in the Atlantic Ocean. Gavin and other members of the men's and women's swim team traveled to Ft. Lauderdale, Fla., in January to train at the International Swimming Hall of Fame. One morning, their coach told them to swim to the practice pool, which was a mile down the beachfront from their hotel.
