Jennifer Fiegel, professor of chemical and biochemical engineering, and Shaun Vecera, director of the UI Honors Program, have received a three-year, $400,000 grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF) to integrate cognitive science-based strategies from the Learning at Iowa initiative into second-year engineering courses.

The TA Mentor Program, launched by the Center for Teaching as a pilot in fall 2023, embeds trained graduate students as peer teaching mentors in large courses and departments. The program aims to support graduate student teaching assistants (TAs), expand faculty capacity, and improve the undergraduate learning experience.

In response to increased demand for proctored exam spaces during finals, several units from the University of Iowa showcased their commitment to student success through a remarkable display of collaboration and ingenuity.

The Learning at Iowa student success initiative is contributing to progress toward the University of Iowa’s goals of improving undergraduate student retention and persistence through graduation by helping students learn how to learn.
