My name is Judy Adams, a proud Upper Iowa University alum from the class of 2019. Due to a career change, I earned my bachelor's degree in Information Systems from Upper Iowa University a month before turning 43. That is why I am excited to raise money for the Adult Learners Excellence fund. I know how hard it is to balance work, family, and university. And how rewarding it is to find a new path in life.

I'll be turning 50 shortly before RAGBRAI, and so I'm challenging myself to complete this new adventure as a part of Team Peacock! Twice in 21 years, RAGBRAI has ridden past my house, and I was not able to join in. This year it's further away, but I'm going!

I take great pride in supporting UIU and helping create opportunities for our adult learners. I can’t reach my goal without you. Your gift — of any size — makes a meaningful difference.

Thank you for helping me continue to support UIU.

Go Peacocks!
