Meet Greenlee's internship coordinator |
Juli Probasco-Sowers is the Greenlee School's internship coordinator. In addition to your faculty adviser, she's available as a resource as you prepare for 499A.
How can you help students with their internship search?
I can help you get started. Set up a meeting by calling 515-294-4342 or emailing me at julip@iastate.edu, and we’ll discuss ways to do that.
At what stage in the internship process should students meet with you?
Students can meet with me any time to discuss internships, but they are required to meet with me before they can be approved for their 499A internship. That should happen right after they receive an internship offer.
How can students come prepared to make the most of your required meeting?
They should have a good understanding of what type of work they will do at the internship, who their supervisor will be, whether the internship is paid or unpaid and whether they can get in 400 hours at the internship. They should also READ the syllabus, which is available on Greenlee's website.
What’s one thing you want students to know about internships?
Take the search and the internship seriously. The internship is a gateway into your professional future.

Revision to Greenlee School's Poynter Institute Exam requirement |
Effective immediately, the Greenlee School of Journalism and Communication no longer requires students to pass the Poynter Institute Exam (PIE) as a prerequisite for enrolling in JL MC 201: Reporting and Writing for the Mass Media. Students who did not pass the exam in prior semesters may enroll (or remain enrolled in JL MC 201) for spring 2021 if they meet the remaining prerequisites. While students no longer must pass a formal exam to enroll in this foundational course for Greenlee majors, the School remains committed to high standards in grammar and usage and will be incorporating additional language-proficiency lessons and refreshers within its curriculum. See a complete list of FAQs on our website. Contact Kelsie Poe (kpoe@iastate.edu) with additional questions.

ClubFest virtual and in-person options |
Spring ClubFest is an opportunity for students to browse through many clubs and organizations at Iowa State to find out how to GET INVOLVED on campus.
To mitigate the risks around COVID-19, both virtual and in-person events will be held during the first week of February. The virtual event will take place Feb. 1 through 5 in Flipgrid. Each in-person event (Feb. 1, 3 and 5, 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.) will have a reduced capacity to incorporate physical distancing, and the Cyclones Care Behaviors will be required for all those in attendance. Because of the reduced capacity of the event, all students planning to attend the event must pre-register. Learn more.
