As we enter a new year, look back at some of the accomplishments and highlights from faculty and staff in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences. Revisit the most popular stories in CLAS during 2024.

Rosemary Moore, associate professor of instruction in the departments of History and Classics, brings her leadership and military experience from the U.S. Navy into her classroom and her research on the Roman military. 

Emily Hurst brings two decades of experience and her passion for mental health to the CLAS student care manager role. The new position is the first of its kind on campus and was made possible by a generous donor gift.

Ali Hval, assistant professor of instruction in the School of Art, Art History, and Design, will use the $10,000 grant from the Iowa Arts Council to expand her studio work. She was selected out of 46 candidates. 

Kelly Kadera and Sara Mitchell, faculty members in the Department of Political Science, host workshops that support, mentor, and teach women in political science. A recent NSF grant will allow them to continue this work for another four years.
