University of Iowa College Republicans

Chairman's Welcome

Hello everyone. My name is Greg Baker and I am the chairman of the University of Iowa College Republicans. I would like to welcome you to our website. We want to make it easy for you to get involved with our group, so we want to make our website as convenient as possible. Please feel free to participate in our wide variety of events that you will see under our calender link. You do not have to attend meetings in order to participate in our activities. I do highly recommend that you do come to our meetings for it allows you to make important decisions for our group and get the fullest amount of information possible. Not to mention you get to make many great friends that also share your political beliefs. Our mission at UICR is to make the Republican voice heard on this extremely liberal campus. Do not be discouraged by our last election, but instead be motivated to get your voice heard at this University with us. Join us in changing the direction of this country, because change starts with you. Thank you very much and I hope to see you with the UICR.

Thanks,
Greg Baker (UICR Chair)
