Over the past 25 years, Shonda Monette has known the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences as a graduate student, faculty member, staff member, and now, president of CLAS Staff Council. As the university's largest college, CLAS spans more than 40 departments and countless disciplines, perspectives, and areas of expertise. That breadth presents a challenge: how do you help people across dozens of departments feel connected to something larger than themselves? That's where Shonda comes in.

University of Iowa physicists have identified a possible driving force behind massive disturbances in the magnetic environment of Mars. They analyzed the constituents of Mars’ magnetotail — magnetic plume that extends outward from the planet for more than 1,500 miles.

Chemists in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences have developed a light-activated crystal structure that captures and stores water from the air using only sunlight. The proof-of-concept discovery could one day lead to energy-efficient technologies that help address global water scarcity, especially in regions with limited access to clean water.

First published results from Iowa-led NASA mission reveal new details of sun-Earth interaction. Physicists led by the University of Iowa have documented in the finest detail to date how energy from the sun interacts with Earth’s magnetic field, which could yield greater insights into solar effects on Earth that drive space weather.

Women who engage in light physical activity and lessen their sedentary time may significantly reduce the risk of key health problems during pregnancy, according to a new University of Iowa-led study.

Celsiana Warwick, assistant professor in the University of Iowa Department of Classics, explains why the ancient poem still feels strikingly modern — and what students and readers can learn from it today.
