Since the 1920s, Hawkeye fans have worn metal homecoming buttons commemorate the week. But during WWII, the 1943 buttons were made of cardboard, and rain on game day destroyed most of them... making it a rare collectible ☔️

One of the first 250 websites on the entire internet was the Virtual Hospital launched by @uihealthcare in 1992, becoming a piece of early internet history 🤯🏥

Our @UIchildrens Kid Captain, Charley Rasmussen, was in kindergarten when she was diagnosed with a rare, life-threatening condition that affects just 1 to 4 out of ever million children. This week, she has chosen @baileyzimmerman's "The Climb" for the Iowa Wave.

Besides the Old Capitol, Calvin Hall is the oldest building still standing on campus 👀 Built in 1885 as Science Hall, and then moved down the hill in 1905 by horses and mules to make room for Macbride Hall. 🐴🏛️

In 1887, a woman pulled an old gold ribbon from her hair and passed around pieces as the example for Iowa's new school color. It was adopted in 1891 💛
