TrueNorth Companies is a provider of insurance and risk management services. Headquartered in Cedar Rapids, with a location in Cedar Falls and over 30 offices throughout the state of Iowa and the Midwest, TrueNorth is an employer to numerous UNI alumni. Executive Chairman Duane Smith is also a graduate of the university.
The Harmans made a lasting impact at UNI by establishing scholarships and providing support to the UNI-Dome, Gallagher Bluedorn Performing Arts Center and the McLeod Center in addition to their support of the football team meeting room. Both have died, Eldred in September 2011 and Donna in May this year. The football team meeting room funds came through a planned gift to UNI the couple established.
This project is phase one of UNI-Dome renovations and part of Panthers Rising, the athletic department’s strategic plan. Remaining renovations will be released at a later date.
Both gifts were made to UNI Athletics through the UNI Foundation. To support other athletic projects, contact Jamar Thompson, senior director of development for athletics, at (319) 273-7817 or [email protected]. More information can be found online at supportthepanthers.com under capital projects.
