2 NOTEWORTHY
UNI ALUMNI!
Mark Steines
Okay, so he was pretty much the Big Man on Campus when at UNI. He played football for the Panthers and took classes with professor Ron Steele (who is still here!). Fast forward a few years, and he is the big-time host of Entertainment Tonight, America's #1 Entertainment News Show.
He has been my internship supervisor this whole summer, so it was a complete joy to be able to give him a special gift.
A UNI FLAG TO PUT IN THE ENTERTAINMENT TONIGHT CONTROL ROOM!
Not only is Mark an incredible host of Entertainment Tonight, but he is an extremely loving father. Oh, and he is married to Miss America 1993!!

Mark was really happy, and it made me extremely happy to spread Panther Love. After all, we all Love to Be a Panther!
UNI ALUM #2: Nancy Aossey
Nancy Aossey, is CEO and President of International Medical Corps in Santa Monica, Califonia. This organization provides international medical relief to over twenty countries in Africa, Asia, and the Americas. They have broken ground in a number of ways, being the first to respond to many international disasters in ways that no other relief organizations have, such as empowering female doctors in Africa to provide medical help in their communities.
She has also been friends with my mother since second grade!
Mom and Nancy tease each other about some grade school drama.
She received an honorary doctorate degree from UNI in May of 2009. And well-deserved! She built the organization from the ground up, and is a wonderful, genuine person. Also, she had us for dinner, and makes great chicken!
My favorite part was learning about the photo camps they sponsor in Africa, where they hold three-week courses with Africans and teach them how to use a camera and take artistic photography. This provides them with an artistic outlet to communicate the struggles in their lives.
