What a week!

The College of Liberal Arts and Sciences celebrated the fifth annual LAS Week at the end of March. The week, sponsored by Kingland, included an entrepreneurship networking event with LAS students and businesses from the Iowa State University Research Park, a movie night hosted by the ISU Student Chapter of the American Meteorological Society, a free breakfast on campus and much more!

At the Study Abroad Snapshot Stories event, two LAS students were awarded study abroad scholarships! One scholarship recipient was unsure and nervous about studying abroad, but after listening to student stories and receiving a scholarship, she was inspired to begin planning a study abroad adventure to Ireland.
