We hope midterms went well (or are going well) if you haven't finished them yet. If you need an academic assist, the Academic Success Center has resources that can help!
There's a ton going on this month starting with tonight's ISU AfterDark with both in-person and virtual events planned.
Here are a few more things to check out in October:
-
Green Dot Action Month. Green Dot is a violence prevention program that focuses on awareness and bystander training. A green dot is anything you do to make the Iowa State community safer. Wear green, take a picture, post to social media using #GreenDotActionMonth, and show your commitment to safety for everyone on campus!
-
LGBTQIA+ History Month - The Center for LGBTQIA+ is gearing up for the annual celebration. The theme this year is Paving the Way, a nod to the historic moments and pioneers who have forged a pathway for the LGBTQIA+ community! The first event is the National Coming Out Day Photoshoot scheduled for next Friday, Oct. 9, from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Memorial Union. Make sure to follow The Center's Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook pages for more information throughout the month.

Meal Pick Up at Conversations Moves Inside
With the colder weather starting to set in, we decided to move the Get & Go pick-up location at Conversations inside to a warmer location. Instead of waiting outside at the front entrance, we ask you to go downstairs to the Conversations lobby to pick up your order. This change starts on Monday. Conversations is still serving to-go meals only. No dine-in service is available. Hours will remain the same, and Cyclone Cares strategies will be in place.
