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!
