They chose to stay in this community and stay at the University of Northern Iowa, which is obviously a great thing for us,

Being a part of both the University community and the general neighborhood has been a pleasure. And I try to do my best to make meaningful contributions to both.

I've always felt WSU was the premier university in the Missouri Valley Conference. We have the best community. We have the best overall facilities. We should be ranked, in all sports, at the top of our league.

It's important to understand we are committed to the overall University community as well as being focused on the black community,

We are a unique community because of the university. We should capitalize on the opportunities with the university.

We very much want to be seen as part of the community and not just a university.
