On-campus vaccination clinics |
Iowa State University is excited to open up more Pfizer COVID-19 Vaccine appointments for students. It will be holding vaccine clinics for students at State Gym next week on Tuesday, April 20; Wednesday, April 21; and Thursday, April 22. To facilitate the best use of our vaccine supply we encourage you to sign up as soon as possible. We have a limited supply of vaccine doses, so appointments may fill quickly. We are hopeful to add additional clinics in the following weeks.
Reminder: You will need to return for your second dose on May 11th, 12th, and 13th respectively. Do not schedule a vaccine appointment at Iowa State if you are unable to receive both doses on campus.

COVID-19 and 499A internships in 2021 |
Because the impact of COVID-19 on employment remains uncertain, we’ve installed a safety net for 499A internships. While we anticipate most students will secure a 499A internship, we have a back-up plan if COVID-19 eliminates your options. If you’re graduating in 2021 but by mid-April are still struggling to secure an internship, please make an appointment with your faculty advisor to discuss the 499 summer “safety net” internship class. Prior to registering for the summer course students must provide the following to their advisor:
- Documentation of six targeted cover letters and applications
- Updated resume
- Updated portfolio
- Proof of attendance at a career fair, or a meeting with someone at LAS Career Services
Once approved, your advisor will provide more info on how to register for this course.
