Monday, August 20, 2018

To help spread the news of the College's innovative and exciting accomplishments, CLAS emails out a twice-monthly news and events digest called "From CLAS, For CLAS, About CLAS." Browse through our previous digests below. To receive the bi-weekly CLAS digest by email, contact Nic Arp.

To notify the College's Strategic Communications team of items to include, please use our CLAS Accomplishment Notification. Possible announcements include:

  • Research awards, notable publications, and other research-related achievements of CLAS departments/programs, faculty, staff, and students
  • Engagement or outreach activities by CLAS departments/programs, faculty, staff, and students.

We will post it on the CLAS website, forward it to Iowa Now for possible inclusion, and consider it for broader coverage.
