The freshman who asked me this question really stopped me for a moment. Mine is a many sided job. It isn\u27t easy to sum it up in one quick answer

Discover People as a Resource

People are the University\u27s most valuable resource. We tend to think first of faculty members when we make such a statement, and that is as it should be. However, there are two other valuable resources in our College of Home Economics that are frequently overlooked - our eight thousand active Home Economics alumnae, many of whom have distinguished themselves in the profession and in community life; and our present student body, consisting of some 1,500 undergraduates, 60 graduate students, and 27 international students from thirteen different countries

To the Graduating Seniors

It is natural for you to experience mixed emotions as you approach your graduation- this special clay to which you and your family have long looked forward.

Tortoise or hare? Supporting the chronotype preference of employees with fluctuating chronic illness symptoms

Objective: Our aim is to understand how to facilitate the job retention of employees with chronic illness. We focus on multiple sclerosis (MS) as a criterion chronic illness. Design: An opportunity sample of 20 individuals of working age (13 female; 7 male) were recruited who had been in paid employment for over 28 months with a concurrent diagnosis of MS. Participants took part in one of three focus groups with a topic guide comprising eight keywords: work, coping, performance, support, future, expectations, and sharing symptoms. Data were analysed using dialogical analysis. Main outcome measures: As a qualitative study, no outcome measure was used. However, the specific focus of interest was to search for differential patterns of ‘timespace’ – chronotope - that people with chronic illness utilize to manage their condition in the workplace. Results: Participants oriented to two distinct chronotope types: unsustainable epic (characterized by condensed time) and temporary idyll (characterized by condensed space). Perceived managerial discretion was identified as possibly influencing participants’ chronotope preference. Conclusion: Identifying chronotope preference has practical implications for health psychologists and related professionals who provide and advise on support to facilitate people with chronic illness to thrive in the workplace

Message from Dean LeBaron

Welcome to a new college year on the Iowa State College campus! October is truly the "new year" for college students- a time of beginning for each one, for seniors as well as for freshmen. It is a time for turning one's back on the triumphs and disappointments of the year before; and it is a time for looking squarely at the potentialities of a full year of college, and what these might mean in leading into new and exciting pathways, and in widening the horizons of the mind.</p
