To the Class of 2022:
Graphic with text that reads: You left your mark on day one. You helped raise $2,960,403.25 For The Kids at Dance Marathon in 2019. You experienced a polar vortex in your freshman year. You watched Hawkeye football beat Iowa State each time they played. You made memories that you’ll never forget. and friends you never want to leave. AND when the world was upended because of a global pandemic, you persisted. You made selfless decisions. There will never be another class just like you. Go and be and do all that you’ve dreamt. And remember, no matter where you go or what you do… You’re always a Hawkeye.

My dear Mr. Hughes: I am the author of a three act dramatic play on Negro family life. I have tentatively chosen as a title for this work a line from one of your poems. The line is: 'a raisin in the sun.' Lorraine Hansberry/Langston Hughes (Hughes papers bit.ly/3ya5pJ1)
