The University of Iowa Council on Teaching announces the 28th annual Outstanding Teaching Assistant Awards and invites nominations for 2016-17. This award recognizes teaching assistants who have demonstrated outstanding ability as teachers at the University of Iowa.
Please join me for the Chief Diversity Office's 2017 Update on Diversity and Inclusion on Wednesday, January 18, 2017, 5:00-6:30 pm in the Main Lounge, Iowa Memorial Union. A brief Q&A will follow the address, with a light reception following.
The Alliant Energy/Erroll B. Davis, Jr. Achievement Award was created to honor Erroll B. Davis, Jr. and his nearly 30 years of service to the utility industry and to honor and recognize the importance of scholarship and leadership by underrepresented minority students in the state of Iowa. The award recognizes academic achievement in business or engineering, leadership in campus and community organizations, and potential for future career success. We are requesting your assistance in encouraging qualified candidates to apply for this opportunity.
Thank you all for supporting the success of our undergraduate students this fall, and for welcoming our first-year undergraduate students to campus. As we get closer to the end of the fall semester, I would like to bring three things to your attention:

The current phased retirement program for faculty and staff will expire on June 30, 2017 (by action of the Board of Regents in 2011). The Board has yet to take action to renew the phased retirement program, and it is anticipated that the earliest a decision would be made is December of this year.
Please add to your calendar and distribute widely. These events kick off the campus-wide conversation around our Internationalization Vision in tandem with the events we will sponsor for the Department of State’s International Education Week.
The University of Iowa is pleased to invite you to two special events in the 2016-2017 Commitment to Internationalization lecture series.
