At residence halls across the University of Iowa campus, roommates are meeting for the first time. Although many communicated via social media before they arrived, the first face-to-face meeting can still be nerve-wracking.

The University of Iowa celebrated the dedication of the Elizabeth Catlett Residence Hall, the university’s newest and largest residence hall. Named for renowned sculptor and printmaker Elizabeth Catlett, the building offers an impressive view of the Iowa River on the east side of campus.
