Students and faculty gathered at IREH to celebrate the end of the Spring 2016 semester, prepare for AIHce 2016, and participate in the ceremonial pennant hanging. 

Goofy Group

First up was the traditional duct smash to signify the end of Ventilation Controls class. Duct smashing has been a tradition for UIowa students since 2010. It is a great way to get out residual aggression from finals and group projects. Once the duct was sufficiently flattened, students signed the duct, forever commemorating their participation.

  • Joel Ramirez, PhD, December 2015
  • Aimee Liz Stark, M.S., May 2016
  • Sarah Ischer, M.S., May 2016
