A component of Enrollment Management in the Office of the Provost, Admissions works actively with central administrators, college deans, faculty, staff, students and alumni to attract and maintain a diverse, talented, multicultural student body of appropriate size and composition that will matriculate, persist, achieve academically and graduate from the University. Goals of ASIST • To identify and train volunteers for progressive and active involvement in student recruitment. • To enhance students’ access to The University of Iowa from their local communities. • To individualize the admission process for an increasing number of qualified applicants. • To increase the percentage of qualified and talented students enrolling at The University of Iowa. • To attract a variety of applicants from different cultural, geographic, and socioeconomic backgrounds. Your Role as an ASIST Member The primary role of the ASIST member is to support the goals of the Office of Admissions and its professional staff. Your positive experiences and knowledge of Iowa City make you a valuable resource of the University. It is, however, important to remember that the admissions professional has been hired and trained in the field of admissions and makes the final decisions concerning appropriate marketing strategies, admission-related programming, and the admitting of students to the University. The ASIST member plays an important supportive role which may be innovative, and certainly vital, in shaping the reputation of the University, especially as it relates to the recruitment of prospective students. Through your ASIST membership you will: • Play an active role in improving the quality and reputation of The University of Iowa. • Be a member of a select group of volunteers directly in contact with future Hawkeyes. • Interact with fellow volunteers who share a common set of experiences. • Be influential in directing the overall mission of the University. • Be involved in enhancing the educational options within your community. ASIST member responsibilities include: • Make a volunteer commitment of at least one year. • Commit to being an engaged volunteer to help identify and contact prospective students. • Follow the Statement of Principles of Good Practice (on the following page) as described by the National Association for College Admission Counseling (NACAC). • Ask questions or offer suggestions that would help to improve program participation or effectiveness. • Notify the Office of Admissions if you are unable to complete a request or commitment. Please provide the ASIST coordinator with updated information regarding any changes of address, phone number, e-mail, etc. 2 ASIST Contact Information Admission Visitors Center 100 Pomerantz Center, Room C110 Iowa City, IA 52242-7700 Receptionist: (319) 335-1566 FAX: (319) 353-2940 E-mail: [email protected] Internet: foriowa.org/asist/ ASIST Blog: asist.admissions.uiowa.edu Annabelle Vinson ASIST Coordinator| Assistant Director Direct dial: (319) 467-0340 E-mail: [email protected] Stephanie Russell ASISTant Coordinator |Admission Counselor Direct dial: (319) 335-4862 Email: [email protected] Tina Merta ASIST College Fair Coordinator E-mail: [email protected] UI Center for Advancement Heather Wilensky Executive Director-Alumni Engagement Toll free: 1-800-648-6973 Direct dial: (319) 467-3368 Internet: foriowa.org/asist/ 3 Statement of Principles of Good Practice: NACAC’s Code of Ethics and Professional Practices “Postsecondary education has the power to transform an individual’s life by providing a path to personal fulfillment, a meaningful career, and the realization of dreams. Its power can lead our society to a future that includes engaged citizens and a more prosperous 21st century. College admission and counseling professionals help students make thoughtful choices about their futures. Our work is guided by principles of honesty, integrity, transparency, equity, fairness, and respect for students and fellow professionals. These values guide us in our service to students and families, our institutions, society, and each other. Promoting ethical admission practices has been the cornerstone of the National Association for College Admission Counseling (NACAC) since our founding in 1937. The Statement of Principles of Good Practice, which with publication of this document is renamed SPGP: NACAC’s Code of Ethics and Professional Practices, protects the interests of both students and institutions by upholding a college admission process free from coercion and discrimination. The SPGP: NACAC’s Code of Ethics and Professional Practices serves as the basis of our profession and an affirmation of what we stand for. Our profession strives to ensure that the students we serve and all of our colleagues are valued and supported. We thrive by embracing and engaging our unique identities, experiences, and perspectives, and we are committed to increasing the enrollment and success of historically underrepresented populations. We are dedicated to promoting college access and addressing systemic inequities to ensure that college campuses reflect our society’s many cultures, stimulate the exchange of ideas, value differences, and prepare our students to become global citizens and leaders. The SPGP: NACAC’s Code of Ethics and Professional Practices is the conscience of our profession. It guides our actions in the face of current and emerging pressures. It empowers us to build trust and find common ground while we work to ensure that every student’s dignity, worth, and potential are realized in the transition to postsecondary education.” The University of Iowa subscribes to the Statement of Principles of Good Practice for its staff and volunteer members of the ASIST program. The following are relevant excerpts for admission volunteers: Core Values • Education • Fairness and Equity • Professionalism • Civility • Collaboration • Trust • Social Responsibility 4 Truthfulness and Transparency: Guiding Principles and Rationale Counseling professionals must provide their students and colleges with complete, truthful, and factual information that will allow them to make informed decisions. Colleges are equally obligated to provide complete, factual, and readily accessible information that will allow students and their counselors to make informed college comparisons and choices. • All members agree they will accurately describe, represent, and promote their schools, institutions, organizations, and services to students and to colleagues and will not misrepresent themselves or their institutions. This includes the data that appear on profiles, websites, and promotional materials and data that are reported to the government,

    The "Literati" at Iowa in the Twenties

    The "L itera ti" at Iowa in the Twenties CHARLTON LAIRD It was a no-win question, as I well knew. The “I” was a beginning graduate student at The University of Iowa in the autumn of 1925 who had come to be examined on a trial bibliography for a pro­ posed thesis and to endure whatever else the instructor in “Bibliog­ raphy and Method” might propose by way of purgatorial initiation. The questioner was Professor Thomas A. Knott, with varying de­ grees of affection known as “Tommy,” who was soon to become managing editor of the New International Dictionary, second edi­ tion, although none of us knew this as yet, not even Tommy. He was deeply devoted to scholarship, had a thunderous voice, and a prognathous jaw. I could imagine a deity, absorbed in matters of greater moment, absentmindedly tossing into the mixture that was to become Tommy Knott enough mandible for two jaw-jutting hu­ mans. “You have made the acquaintance of Mr. Cross’s little book?” he asked. “Mr. Cross’s little book” was Tom Peete Cross, Bibliographical Guide to English Studies, like Tommy himself a product of the Uni­ versity of Chicago. To slight it was lèse majesté. But what could I say? If I implied that I had gone over Cross with such care as I could muster—which I had—my scraps of learning would have been inundated in Tommy’s all-submerging knowledge. If I said I had been too busy to give the masterpiece the attention it deserved, and would eventually get, something would have hap­ pened, although I could not envisage what.

    THE ANNALS of IOWA 70 (Winter 2011)

    The Annals of Volume 70, Number 1 Iowa Winter 2011 A QUARTERLY JOURNAL OF HISTORY In This Issue MICHAEL S. HEVEL, a doctoral candidate in the higher education program at the University of Iowa, describes the role of literary societies at Cornell College, the State University of Iowa, and the Iowa State Normal School in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. He argues that those societies provided opportunities for students to display publicly, in a variety of changing formats over the years, their higher learning. Through their programs, society members demonstrated their educational gains, improved their speaking abilities, and practiced the cultural arts. In addition, society members were instrumental in creating features of campus life that endure to the present. BREANNE ROBERTSON analyzes Lowell Houser’s entry in the compe- tition to create a mural for the Ames Post Office in 1935. She argues that his choice of Mayan subject matter, drawing on a contemporary fascination with Mexican culture in both subject and style, distinguished his work among a strong pool of applicants in the competition, and the execution of his mural sketch, which adhered to traditional notions of history painting, demonstrated a technical and thematic expertise that fulfilled the lofty aims of the selection committee and ultimately won for him the competition. Front Cover Members of the Orio Literary Society at Iowa State Normal School staged a dramatic production of Louis’ Last Moments with His Family in 1897. For more on literary societies at Cornell College, the State University of Iowa, and the Iowa State Normal School, see Michael Hevel’s article in this issue.
