From the first words, you’ll feel a taproot set down in your heart, one that won’t let go because the story is as old as the land itself. You know the one­--that story of mothers and fathers and daughters and sons, that rough and tender story of the ties that bind." —Lee Martin, author of From Our House and The Bright Forever No publisher marquart Creative Writing 2008-01-14T21:31:12Z News Item http://engl.iastate.edu/news_items/michael-mendelson-delivers-paper-at-university-of-leiden No publisher marquart Rhetoric 2007-09-24T02:37:52Z News Item http://engl.iastate.edu/news_items/isu-professors-and-graduate-students-receive-top-panel-award Top Panel Award for the "Basic Course Division," Central States Communication Association Convention, Minneapolis, MN, March 30, 2007.

These include an increasingly multicultural student population, greater demand for alternative teaching methods and forms of delivery, the ever-expanding use of technology in teaching, and the need to train and mentor faculty to meet these challenges. But ... perhaps the path to reform begins not with sweeping institutional change but with the day-to-day efforts of individual faculty members, coupled with faculty development programs to support faculty in these efforts."
