Call for Programs
University Housing, in collaboration with the Office of the Provost, invite all faculty members to participate in the 2008-2009 Call for Programs. This opportunity pairs faculty members' professional and personal interests with students living in the residence halls. Are you looking for a venue to present your latest research before a big conference? Do you want to share your passion for guitars with students? Do you like to knit and would love to teach others? Are you an expert on cholesterol and want to share new clinical findings? Are you attending a concert on campus and willing to meet with students before or after to discuss the event? The 2008-2009 Call for Programs provides this opportunity for you. Call for Programs is monitored and supported by Academic Initiatives. Questions: Contact Heather Stalling at michelle-cohenour@uiowa.edu

Living-Learning Communities
Living-Learning Communities provide various opportunities to connect in class topics to out-of-class activities. Iowa's living-learning communities are a great way to find people you can relate to from the moment you arrive on campus. Not only an academic opportunity, life in the living-learning communities offers a chance to build a support network and lasting friendships. More information can be found at: http://housing.uiowa.edu/departments/housing/communities/index.htm
or by contacting Heather Stalling at heather-stalling@uiowa.edu
MAP-Works (Making Achievement Possible)
MAP-Works is an inventory designed to improve student success and retention-through early intervention. Students in the West neighborhood will be encouraged to engage in this opportunity during fall 2009. Students who participate in this inventory will receive information to educate them about issues related to their college transition and academic success. Students will be informed of any gaps between their behavior and their anticipated outcomes. If you have additional questions, please contact Michelle Cohenour, Student Learning Coordinator at michelle-cohenour@uiowa.edu or 335-3700.
