Nominate for P&S CYtation Awards

The Professional and Scientific (P&S) Council CYtation Awards are designed to recognize dedicated P&S employees, particularly those those who might not otherwise receive recognition for outstanding work. These awards are for staff who go above and beyond their normal responsibilities, does something extraordinarily well, and acts in such a way as to make a very real difference at Iowa State.

Nominations are due December 1, 2022. More information about the awards can be found here.

Nurturing Our Wellbeing is a new approach to employee wellness within the Division of Student Affairs. This year, the Staff Development and Wellbeing Committee is focused on promoting culture change around three specific areas, that in turn, will become the "norm" within the division.

Meetings and appointments will be more efficient, effective, and flexible.
Time and space for professional development and wellbeing needs are encouraged.
Supervisors and employees will strengthen collaboration and communication around workload, responsibilities, and expectations.
