Welcome Back to School!
Here's what we have planned so far...
Good afternoon! We hope you had a wonderful winter break, holidays, and Happy New Year!
We are so ready to be back and ready for action. You’re most likely receiving this newsletter because you signed up last semester! If you no longer want to receive these emails, please scroll all the way to the bottom of the page and click unsubscribe.
We have a ton of cool events lined up these first few weeks that we want you to explore!
January 29th, 11-1pm: The Student Org Fair! Come see our table and learn more about the organization, our plans this semester, and play a fun game!
January 31st, TIME TBD: Our first meeting of the semester! These have been between 5pm-7:30pm in the past and run about an hour and a half or less. We will go over the constitution and then hop into writing and practicing for our next two events!
February 11th, 7pm: The IPA Qualifier! This will be in the interpreter’s theatre in Lang hall. Please review all links and information about this competition. This is an amazing opportunity and can connect you with poets all over the nation!
The 2025 IPA Poetry Slam Season is upon us! The Iowa Poetry Association is hosting a series of four qualifying poetry slams across the state in search of our 2025 IPA Poetry Slam Champion. The top three poets from each qualifier will automatically advance to the IPA Poetry Slam Finals to be held on April 5, 2025 as part of @poetryamp_iowa! The winner of the IPA Poetry Slam Finals will be named the 2025 Iowa Champion and earn an IPA-sponsored spot in the 2025 BlackBerry Peach National Poetry Slam. This year’s national slam will be held in Albuquerque, New Mexico on July 23-26, 2025.
Register to compete ahead of the qualifier. Don’t want to compete? No worries! Come on out to cheer on the poets, enjoy poetry, and/or volunteer to judge! All are welcome!

March 7th, 7-9pm: Poetry Show in collaboration with Nicole Sallis, Chris Hale and the Cedar Falls Community Theatre! The event will take place at the Theatre and will be an amazing way to showcase your work! Poets will each have 5-6 minutes to share and will receive a $50 stipend per poet. We will finalize a roster ASAP so please reach out if interested! We will be reminding all students leading up to this event.
