Led by the Center for Teaching, University of Iowa faculty and students are participating in the Students as Partners program. The program matches an instructor with 1 to 2 undergraduate students who provide meaningful feedback and ideas about student learning experiences. By bringing together instructors and students as collaborative partners, this program fosters more inclusive, engaging, and equitable learning environments.

In alignment with the 2022-2027 Strategic Plan, the university is investing significant resources in faculty success and developing new initiatives aimed at helping improve faculty recruitment, retention, development, and recognition.

The University of Iowa is dedicated to giving everyone an opportunity to thrive on campus, and a series of programs and initiatives implemented through the 2022-2027 Strategic Plan are helping students do just that.
