"There are two ways of spreading light:
To be the candle or the mirror that reflects it."

-- Edith Wharton, American author (1862-1937)

Since 1956, light has been generated at The University of Iowa by the "candles" of a multitude of loyal givers.

As a "mirror" the UI Foundation has worked to reflect this light onto thousands of deserving people and projects, but also back in some small way onto the people whose generosity we appreciate and celebrate.
