The Latham Science Engagement Fellowship, administered by the Iowa Sciences Academy, is for undergraduate student researchers interested in communicating science to varied audiences. Fellows work across disciplines to collaboratively develop and implement science outreach projects. Apply now before the April 17 deadline!

10 Iowa Science Academy students were nominated and selected in recognition of their exemplary, innovative work in their chosen field. Students recognized through this campaign are showcased on a banner in downtown Iowa City. 

Each year, 20 students from all three regent universities (the University of Iowa, Iowa State University, and the University of Northern Iowa) bring research posters to display at Iowa's Statehouse. Students use their posters as a backdrop to discuss their work with Iowa's legislators. This event also allows students to practice discussing their work with officials, outlining the community/global impact, educational benefits, and importance of their research. Check out the ISA students who presented their research at the Capitol.

The University of Iowa was the host location for the 2023 IINSPIRE LSAMP Conference @ the Graduate Hotel in Iowa City. The conference was attended by students, faculty, and staff representing the 16 two-year and four-year colleges and universities in the Alliance.

Graduate students pursuing a doctorate in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences can apply for one of five graduate assistantships in the areas of writing, editing, community engagement, and performing arts marketing and communication. The positions are part of a five-year pilot project that provides CLAS doctoral students with unique opportunities to gain diverse experience in outreach, engagement, and writing that will benefit career preparation.
