Help raise 10,000 lbs of food for Story County - United Way food drive drop in Heady Hall

Hunger is real. Economic struggles force some families to choose between paying for electricity and buying groceries.  In Story County, two-thirds of food pantry users barely make more than the state minimum wage.  Bethesda Community Food Pantry in Ames, served 20,000 people in 2010 alone.  To combat this real and substantial need, United Way of Story County has teamed up with Monsanto to hold the LIVE UNITED Food Drive May 16-26. Area businesses will serve as drop points for the non-perishable products.

What's useful news for our department?

[Posted May 11, 2011]

The news we post on our home page and in the department newsletter comes from many different sources, most often from leads and links we receive through ISU News Service. Don't forget that you can also suggest stories of your own that we produce in-house - or those we can ask ISU News Service to cover for broader dissemination.

News comes in many different forms! A good story doesn't need to be one that goes out to all of the major news outlets. It can also be one that appears on our home page and tells perhaps a smaller story - but still just as useful.

New graduate student profile feature on website

[Posted May 06, 2011]
in

We've added a new profile feature to the home page and graduate section of the website. To better promote the department and its opportunities for graduate students, we wanted to connect the work to real people - thus the profiles. Grad students Alicia Rosburg, Jerome Dumortier, Huan Zhao, and Abhishek Somani have all offered their stories and likeness - they were great to work with, and we feel they represent the department extremely well!
