Join us for the Iowa Mid-Career Faculty Scholars Symposium on Thursday, May 1 in the Big Ten Theater of the Iowa Memorial Union (IMU).

The Iowa Mid-Career Faculty Scholar Award was created in 2022 to support and recognize outstanding UI faculty members across a broad array of academic disciplines who have established national or international reputations within their field and are exceptional teachers in and outside the classroom. During the symposium, each member of the 2023-2026 cohort of scholars will give a 15-minute presentation on their area of expertise. This event is an excellent opportunity to learn about and engage with some of the most exciting work happening at the University of Iowa.

The event will begin at 3:30 p.m. in the IMU's Big Ten Theater, Room 348 IMU. A public reception will follow in Room 346.
