Login to Learn@ISU
to view our November Council Seminar Series event! This session focuses on playfulness and mind-body engagement to help enhance the creativity of teams by tapping emotional and embodied mechanisms. T

This session was presented by
José Rosa,
Faculty Fellow in the Division of Diversity and Inclusion, Professor in Marketing, and John and Deborah Ganoe Faculty Fellow, Ivy College of Business, during the 2019 Professional and Scientific Council Professional Development Conference and is being released as this month's Council Seminar Series event.

Highlighting ISU Staff: Student Loan Education Office Staff Members
This month we recognize the staff from the Student Loan Education Office, Jennifer Schroeder, Isaac Ehlers, Julia Gwebu and Megan Moore (pictured from left to right)
This team was nominated by Jennifer Schroeder, who said:
"
The advisers in the Student Loan Education Office are dedicated to improving the financial wellness of our students. The advisers continually work to improve service and delivery of our message to help engage students on a topic that is usually avoided, financial management. At times, the advisers must conduct difficult meetings with students regarding their ability to afford a college education. The advisers strive to work with students to find a way to pay but that is not always practical. The advisers use compassion and honesty when counseling students individually, and ingenuity when developing programming to spread financial awareness.
"
Congratulations, Student Loan Education Office staff, and thank you for all you do!
You can nominate a fellow Professional and Scientific employee (or team of employees) for Highlighting ISU Staff! Submit your nominations using the Highlighting ISU Staff form to tell us about a P&S employee or team doing great work in your area. The form will ask you to tell us about who you are highlighting and why in 100 words or less, and to include a picture of the person, team, or output for which they are being highlighted.
One submission will be regularly included in the newsletter as determined by the P&S Council Awards Committee. Other submissions will be featured on social media with the tag #highlighting ISUstaff, on the P&S Council web page Highlighting ISU Staff, and/or included in future newsletters.
