Join us tonight at 6pm central for the Alumni Speaker Series with Nicole (Henry) Stemo '10 as she shares her story!

The Alumni Speaker Series is back this month when we are joined by Nicole (Henry) Stemo, a 2010 Fayette alum who double majored in management and marketing! 🦚🦚

Tune in on Thursday, April 23rd at 6pm central when we talk with Nicole on the Upper Iowa University page as she presents “What No One Tells You About Your First 3 Years After College (And How to Get Ahead Anyway)”. After starting her career in alumni relations, Nicole navigated a non-linear path into an industry she hadn’t originally planned for but one that ultimately provided significant opportunities for growth, leadership, and impact. She’ll share honest insights and practical advice on what the first few years after college look like, and how to navigate them with confidence and intention.

Want to learn more about the Alumni Speaker Series or get involved? Visit www.uiu.edu/alumnispeakerseries for more information or to watch previous alumni speakers.
