No Frills 2015: the iowa challenge

Excel

Engage

Stretch

Choose

Serve

The No Frills 2015 Conference Staff is excited to share the IOWA Challenge with

other schools in the region. The pillars of the IOWA Challenge are: Excel, Engage,

Stretch, Choose and Serve.

We believe the five pillars directly reflect the goals of MACURH and feel that all

students will be able to benefit from experiencing the IOWA Challenge. Since the No

Frills, MACURH, and NACURH conferences are considered leadership and skill-

building opportunities, these five pillars provide students with an additional approach

to build their leadership skills.

Conference dates:

February 13 – 15, 2015

Highlights of the RBD Site Visit

The RBD came to the University of Iowa from January 8th-10th to continue preparing for No Frills 2015. Our time together was very productive and one thing was certainly confirmed: we cannot wait to have MACURH join us at

Iowa in February!
