Old Capitol down with mix of clouds and blue sky above it

Looks can be deceiving. This photo of Old Capitol might suggest that it was taken on a warm, breezy afternoon. It was not. Photographer Justin Torner was crossing the Pentacrest on his way back to the office on a frigid January day when he looked up and noticed how perfect the clouds were. He says he never really plans to shoot the iconic campus building—it just happens. With scaffolding surrounding the building this past fall, photographers have been forced to find alternative, yet distinctive, campus shots.

All UI students are assigned a personal Merit page during their first semester on campus. The UI uses Merit to recognize and promote outstanding student achievement, extracurricular activities, and graduation. Students have the ability to customize their Merit page with pictures; downloadable documents; and details about internships, externships, volunteer activities, leadership positions, study abroad experiences, and employment.

Students also have the option to share achievements added to their Merit page on their personal social media channels, such as Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn. Achievements posted to Merit pages by the UI are automatically shared with newspapers that serve the student’s hometown and with the counseling office of the high school from which the student graduated.
