From its inception, Uprising has been a platform for students to express fashion, culture, and social justice. For years students at the University of Northern Iowa have worked to shape Uprising’s true identity, each semester contributing to its forever evolving ethos. Now, as we celebrate a decade of its existence this semester, we’ve found ourselves reflecting on a fundamental question: What is Uprising? This milestone compelled us to explore its essence, and in doing so, we realized that Issue 19 would be the answer. Thank you to our readers, and happy 10th anniversary to Uprising! #jointheuprising #magazine #uni #universityofnortherniowa #cedarfalls #waterloo #cedarvalley #iowa
