VPA Outreach Coordinator – Amy Peters
Iowa State University has closed most campus buildings, directed non-essential staff to work from home, and restricted professional travel and outreach activities. The VPA Outreach Coordinator is working remotely, and can best be reached by email at
[email protected]
.
Requests for in-person training are still welcome, but scheduling will be postponed until guidance from Iowa State University and Governor Reynolds allows for such activities.
If you have a training need that can be met using remote technology, please contact Amy to discuss options.
Orders for VPA brochures may be delayed due to restricted access to our campus office. Please place your orders as you normally would, and we will fill them as we are able.
Priority will be given to orders for the Comm 107 brochure, as hospitals are required to offer that material.
