There's a place for you here
We know that when students feel connected, supported, and proud of where they study, it translates into real success. The "I Belong at Iowa Law" campaign is about fostering a welcoming environment where every student knows they're an essential part of the Iowa Law community.
The idea for the campaign was born from a combination of insightful research findings and meaningful conversations on how to best support our student population. Research from the University of Cincinnati College of Law revealed that feeling engaged and supported during law school is a far stronger predictor of bar passage than LSAT scores or undergrad GPA. Beyond that, we believe it's important that all students feel celebrated and involved in the law school community, and we realize how crucial a sense of belonging is. This campaign aims to ensure every student feels valued, connected, and motivated to reach their fullest potential.
"I belong at Iowa Law"
This is more than just a slogan—it’s a movement to boost confidence and community at Iowa Law. By embracing belonging, we can work to celebrate our dynamic, talented student body and set everyone up for success.
Together, we can make Iowa Law a place where every student thrives— from their first day, to passing the bar and beyond!

Your home away from home
"I Belong at Iowa Law" isn’t just about declaring that every student automatically belongs—it’s about acknowledging the challenges of law school, encouraging students to seek a place within our community, and being open to being that place for others.
We understand that law school can sometimes feel isolating. We aim to foster a supportive environment where everyone is intentional about finding their connection, resources, and sense of belonging. We hope our students will also reach out when they notice a fellow student in need of that connection.
Iowa Law is committed to creating safe, welcoming spaces where every student can thrive, grow, and truly feel at home.
