  • Iowa Academy of Science the New Bulletin Volume 5 Number 2 Summer 2009
    Iowa Academy of Science The New Bulletin Volume 5 Number 2 Summer 2009 The Iowa Academy of Science is established to further scientific research and its dissemination, education in the sciences, public understanding of science, and recognition of excellence in these endeavors. Message from the Executive Director Dear Academy Members, Summer has been moving by quickly and I hope the time has been both productive and enjoyable for you. This issue of the IAS Bulletin is available only online and will help you catch up on some Academy activities. We have four public programs scheduled as part of the IAS Saylorville Speaker Series. The June pro- gram by David Brenzel and Holmes Semken on Iowa Giant Ground Sloths drew an audience of 25 in- cluding children. It is wonderful to see families at these events. Check the schedule in this issue for the remaining presentations. The ISTS Leadership has once again put together an excellent program for the Fall Conference to be held October 27th & 28th in Des Moines. More information is found inside this issue and at http:// ists.pls.uni.edu/. The Academy was notified in June that the Iowa Science Foundation received full funding of $50,000 this year. That was great news considering the economic situation. A total of 28 grant requests were received by the ISF Committee with 10 proposals receiving funding. The next issue of the Journal of the Iowa Academy of Science will have a new look. Its cover will sport a full color photo related to an article inside. We plan to make the color cover a permanent addition to the Journal.

The program was established in 1989 to honor the retention achievements of post-secondary institutions throughout North America. Each year, awards are given to recognize the most successful, state-of-the-art retention programs in use at many different kinds of institutions, with many different target groups of students. Nominees for awards are judged on identifiable and measurable institutional outcomes, originality and creativity, use of resources, and adaptability for use at other institutions. Winners are selected by a national panel comprising leading campus-based retention practitioners. Since the program began, 31 community colleges, 31 private, and 98 public colleges and universities have been honored with Retention Excellence Awards. As a result of this national exposure, these award-winning programs have served as models of retention excellence to stimulate the creativity and energy of hundreds of two-year and four-year institutions.
