Kyle Bartels' two-day Agriculture in the Classroom training was an immersive agricultural experience resulting from a STEM Scale-Up Award. Kyle toured some amazing facilities like Robinson Implement in Irwin, Ferry Farms, and AMVC in Audubon (did you know they're the 8th largest pork producer in the country?). But that's not all! Kyle also did a virtual tour of Grady's Greenhouse in Carroll and heard from Adam Gittins about high-tech agricultural solutions. This blend of hands-on tours and classroom work will bring fresh ideas to bring agriculture to life for our students. #workinginthesummer #iowastemscaleup #agintheclassroom

Are you ready for some football? With the 2024 Tiger football season approaching, it’s time to discuss reserved parking spaces overlooking the field. There are 10 parking spaces with a full view of the football field. We are placing these prime spaces in a silent auction and allowing those interested to bid on them. The parking space will be rewarded to whoever has the highest bid for that specific spot, if there is a spot with multiple bids at the same amount it will go to whoever made the bid first.
