Can you believe another fall semester has wrapped up? We appreciate our faculty and staff who teach, mentor, and support our students and can’t wait to celebrate our newest graduates at commencement this Sunday.
We hope you take time over the next few weeks to relax and enjoy winter break.
Thank you for all you do and for being a part of the CLAS community. See you in the new year!
As we enter a new year, look back at some of the accomplishments and highlights from our faculty and staff. Revisit the most popular stories over the past year.
Please join us in welcoming and congratulating CLAS faculty and staff on their hiring, promotion, or transfer within the college. Check out this list of CLAS employee updates from last month.
Kelly Kadera and Sara Mitchell, faculty members in the Department of Political Science, host workshops that support, mentor, and teach women in political science. A recent NSF grant will allow them to continue this work for another four years.
Ali Hval, assistant professor of instruction in the School of Art, Art History, and Design, will use the $10,000 grant from the Iowa Arts Council to expand her studio work. She was selected out of 46 candidates.
Emily Hurst brings two decades of experience and her passion for mental health to the CLAS student care manager role. The new position is the first of its kind on campus and was made possible by a generous donor gift.
Rosemary Moore, associate professor of instruction in the departments of History and Classics, brings her leadership and military experience from the U.S. Navy into her classroom and her research on the Roman military.
Nominations are being accepted for university-wide staff awards. Several categories and opportunities exist to recognize a deserving staff member in your area. Submissions are due Friday, Jan. 10.
