out among their peers and in the eyes
of potential employers.
TIPPIE IN THE METAVERSE
The Tippie College of Business
now has a digital twin.
The virtual world features interiors

The space is being used for online
courses and student recruitment.
PITCH PERFECT
Micah Hyde (BS13) (at right with his wife,
Amanda, center) is a safety for the Buffalo Bills
when he isn’t involved in charity work. Hyde is a
former defensive back for the Iowa football team
who took Associate Professor of Practice Joe
Sulentic’s Social Entrepreneurship course through
the John Pappajohn Entrepreneurial Center as a
student, which provided a jumpstart for Hyde’s
Imagine for Youth Foundation. Sulentic (left) threw
out the first pitch for Hyde’s 3rd annual charity
softball game in Buffalo, N.Y., in May.

Artists in residence at the UI School of Music, the Cavani
