We're always excited to hear from students who are curious about science, skepticism, critical thinking, and the secular perspective. Whether you're interested in attending one of our meetings, learning more about Darwin Week, or getting involved with our organization, we'd love to connect with you.
Join Us at Our Campus Meetings
The best way to get to know UNI Freethinkers & Inquirers is to come to one of our regular meetings on campus. These gatherings are where we discuss ideas, plan events like Darwin Week, welcome new members, and build our community. You'll meet officers and members who are passionate about fostering critical inquiry and rational thought at UNI. Whether you're a seasoned skeptic or just beginning to explore these ideas, everyone is welcome.
Our meetings are open to all students, regardless of experience level or background. We encourage freshmen and returning students alike to drop by, stick around, and learn something new. It's a great opportunity to ask questions, share your perspective, and discover what our organization is all about.
Connect With Us on Facebook
The easiest way to stay updated on our activities, meeting times, and upcoming events is to find us on Facebook. Our Facebook page is the hub for all things UNIFI—you'll find announcements about Darwin Week, details about our meetings, photos from past events, and discussions that reflect our mission. Head over to Facebook and give us a like or a follow so you don't miss out on what we're planning.
You can also use Facebook to send us a direct message if you have questions or want to learn more before attending your first meeting. Our officers regularly check messages and are happy to answer any questions you might have about joining or getting involved.
What to Expect When You Connect With Us
When you reach out or attend a meeting, you'll find a welcoming community of students who value evidence-based thinking, scientific literacy, and open dialogue. We're not here to mock anyone's beliefs—we're here to ask tough questions, examine claims carefully, and promote the kind of hard discussion that leads to genuine understanding.
Our group spans a range of majors and interests. You'll meet history majors, biology students, engineering majors, and everything in between. What we all share is a commitment to thinking critically and a desire to engage with ideas in a respectful, thoughtful way. Whether you're interested in philosophy, science, ethics, or just want to meet people who think differently, you'll find a place here.
Getting Involved Beyond Meetings
If you're interested in doing more than just attending meetings, there are plenty of ways to get involved with UNIFI. We're always looking for volunteers to help organize events, contribute ideas, help plan Darwin Week, manage our social media, or take on leadership roles within the organization. Our officer team is dedicated to building something meaningful, and we value the contributions of every member.
Whether you want to help with event planning, lead a discussion, coordinate with other campus organizations, or bring a skill or passion to the group, we'd love to hear about it. Getting involved is a great way to develop leadership experience, deepen your own understanding of critical thinking, and make a real impact on our campus community.
About Darwin Week and Our Events
One of the highlights of our year is Darwin Week, our annual speaker series that brings thought-provoking voices to campus. If you're curious about past speakers, want to know who's coming next year, or have suggestions for future events, we'd love to hear from you. Darwin Week is a major undertaking, and we're always interested in hearing from students who want to help make it happen or who have ideas for making it even better.
Reach out to us through Facebook or come to one of our meetings to learn more about Darwin Week, get involved in planning, or simply find out what's on the agenda for this year.
Why Connect With Us?
Here's what makes UNIFI special: we're a genuine community of students who care about ideas. We don't pretend to have all the answers, but we're committed to asking the right questions. We believe that skepticism, science, and reason are tools that help us understand the world better. We also believe that these conversations matter—they shape how we think, how we engage with the world, and how we treat each other.
By connecting with us, you're joining a group that values intellectual honesty, welcomes diverse perspectives, and isn't afraid to challenge assumptions—including our own. You'll be part of something that makes a real difference on campus and in the lives of our members.
