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.
