Cyclones Care: Keep up the good work!
Thanks to everyone who is showing Cyclones Care by wearing face coverings (all hours on campus), maintaining physical distance (6 feet), washing or sanitizing hands often, and staying home if you are ill. The success of this semester is up to all of us. We appreciate all your efforts not only in Hamilton Hall, but elsewhere on campus and in our community.

If you forget your face covering, remember disposable face coverings are available in 101 Hamilton.
Did you miss face covering pickup?
LAS students can pick up their two free cloth face coverings in Catt Hall at the advising information table located on the first floor between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. daily.
Student food pantry open in Beyer
The Students Helping Our Peers (SHOP) food pantry is open for the fall semester in its new location — 1306 Beyer Hall. Hours are Tuesday and Friday, 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Volunteer opportunities are available.
Greenlee labs and equipment checkout
Procedures regarding Greenlee labs and media equipment for the fall 2020 semester can be found on our website on the Greenlee Labs & Equipment page.
Adobe software availability
  • Student licenses for personal laptops are still coming. ISU is in negotiations with Adobe to obtain the best pricing possible for student purchase. More information will be shared as we know more. 
  • If your computer cannot support Adobe programs, you can apply to be part of the Laptop Loaner Program through the University Library. Requests for participation in the Laptop Loaner Program will be accepted now through 5:00 p.m. CST on Friday, Aug. 28. Students with the greatest financial need and those who have exhausted other options for financial aid will receive priority as laptop requests are processed. Loaners will have Adobe software available to install through Self Service.
  • Adobe software will continue to be available in our Greenlee labs. See “Open labs by appointment” for more information on how to reserve a time.
Reminder: Advising appointments
Advising appointments are by appointment only (virtual or in person if there's a pressing need). Schedule advising meetings with the academic advisers (Jessica Hansen-Moench, Kelsie Poe and Juli Probasco-Sowers) through EAB or by calling 515-294-4342 whenever possible rather than coming into the main office.

For in-person appointments, please arrive as close to your appointment time as possible. A designated waiting spot is marked in the hallway near the men's restroom on the first floor.

Faculty office hours and meetings (including advising meetings, student organizational meetings, thesis/creative component defenses) should take place in a virtual environment this semester unless there is a pressing need to meet in person. Even then, some individuals may still require virtual options. Refer to our faculty directory for contact and appointment scheduling info for individual faculty members.

Greenlee School main office hours
The main office, located in 101 Hamilton Hall, is open, and regular business hours (Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.) have resumed. You can continue to reach the main office staff by phone (515-294-4342) or by email (greenlee@iastate.edu).
